description for "Iris: Iris histrioides 'Katherine Hodgkin'"
Dwarf 'Katherine Hodgkin' Iris has pale blue and yellow petals that look like they've been delicately etched with dark blue ink. This superlative dwarf iris blooms in late winter as the spiky green foliage begins to poke through the soil. A wonderful specimen for rock gardens and pathside plantings, where it will flourish and spread from year to year. 'Katherine Hodgkin' thrives in a neutral to alkaline soil with excellent drainage. Also perfect for pots and window boxes! 5 inches high.
