NEOMARICA GRACILIS
Apostle's Iris


From the Iris family comes this Neomarica with sword shaped leaves and fragrant flowers. The delicate flowers last only a day but the plant continues to form new blooms for long periods of time during late spring months. Makes also an excellent houseplant.
This is not a water Iris, be careful not to overwater. Neomarica gracilis is a type of walking Iris. Once the flower is spent, the stem that
it was born on lays to the ground and from that a new plant is formed. For that reason it is said to be walking across your garden.
You can divide plants and plant them in new locations.
