Iris douglasiana (Douglas Iris) - This California native perennial is a vigorous growing plant that forms 18 inch tall by 36 inch or more wide clumps of arching, evergreen leaves. The lavender-blue to near white flowers appear in spring on 1 to 2 foot tall branched or unbranched stems. Our form is entirely pale blue. Plant in full sun to light shade on the coast and light shade inland with occasional water. It is hardy to <15 degrees F. Has an extensive natural range along the coast from Santa Barbara to Oregon. It was named for David Douglas who collected it around 1830 in Monterey County.  Information displayed on this page about  Iris douglasiana is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
