Regina Walking Iris
Iris neomarica 'Regina'
Cultivar: Regina
Neomarica caerulea 'Regina' features arching, deep green foliage that creates a graceful, fan-shaped habit. It produces showy, fragrant lavender-blue blossoms that emerge in clusters, providing a brilliant splash of color in tropical landscapes or bright indoor settings. This resilient plant is well-known for its unique propagation habit, where new plantlets develop on the flowering stalks, eventually drooping to the ground to root.
The Regina Walking Iris is a stunning, easy-to-grow tropical perennial prized for its large, vibrant blue flowers and elegant, sword-like foliage. It is an excellent choice for adding a touch of exotic beauty to containers or shaded garden beds.
