Description
This plant makes a wonderful ground cover or edging plant, and reproduces freely from rhizomes. It should be placed in rich, well-drained soil, and blue-violet iris blooms will then appear nestled amongst the foliage in early to mid spring. -Holland WIldflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:
Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.
Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
