Description

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 on the ground, and from there 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.
