Free-flowering and most attractive, Iris versicolor ‘Party Line’ (Blue Flag) is a rhizomatous perennial forming a clump of lance-shaped, blue-green leaves. Branched stems rise from the clump in late spring to early summer, each of them boasting 3-5 red-purple flowers adorned with darker veining and a pale yellow signal that changes to white with red-purple veining. Very handsome in and out of bloom, Blue Flag is a central landscape plant for the water garden, near ponds and streams. This marginal aquatic plant is also a lovely addition to moist borders.
