Neomarica ‘Walking Iris’: Regina
Neomarica caerulea Regina, also known as Walking Iris Regina, is a clumping herbaceous perennial, native to Brazil. They produce long, glossy green leaves and small, iris-like flowers. Regina specifically produces blue-purple petals and tall, upright foliage. These striking blooms only last a day, but as flowers die more will follow for an extended period. It has a moderate growth rate and does well in mass plantings, too. Clumps of upright foliage provide year-round interest, even when not in flower. It is also well suited to containers and hanging baskets where its arching stems can be highlighted.
