It can be found growing naturally in fertile, wooded areas throughout the eastern and southern states. This robust perennial rapidly colonizes when happy. If possible, plant it in part shade on fertile soil. It can handle full sun if planted in soil that never dries out - perhaps the side of a stream. Tolerates full shade well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZones: \u003c\/strong\u003e3 to 9 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily: \u003c\/strong\u003eIridaceae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eHerbaceous Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e6 to 9 in. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread: \u003c\/strong\u003e6 to 9 in. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure: \u003c\/strong\u003eFull Sun to Full Shade, happiest in part shade\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConditions: \u003c\/strong\u003emoist, moist but well-drained,\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ehumus rich, woodland soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time: \u003c\/strong\u003eApril \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative Range: \u003c\/strong\u003eeastern and southern United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names: \u003c\/strong\u003elady's calamus, dwarf crested iris \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Old Dairy Nursery \u0026 Gardens","offers":[{"title":"4\" pot","offer_id":45975819780249,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/2607\/5545\/files\/Iris_cristata__2_1_1e91d241-8efa-4994-b107-99cf28b760b3.jpg?v=1738099638"},{"product_id":"iris-sibirica","title":"Iris sibirica | Siberian iris","description":"\u003cp\u003eSiberian irises (\u003cem\u003eIris sibirica\u003c\/em\u003e) are pretty, adaptable, long-lived plants with strappy, grass-like foliage and showy flowers.
