Iris versicolor 'Blue Flag'
Choose Blue Flag Iris if you have consistently damp soil, a rain garden, or a pond edge and want native blue bloom. The tradeoff: it is not the right pick for dry, sandy, or sharply drained beds.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The blue-violet bloom and upright foliage give damp areas a clear focal point, but the flower window is not long. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in at a fast pace when the soil stays evenly moist. |
| Maintenance | B | It is straightforward once sited correctly, though dry beds will create avoidable stress. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It works in contained wet pockets, but clumps can spread where moisture is consistent. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Flag Iris for the wet part of the yard, not as a general border plant. Put it where moisture is reliable and let its native habit do the work.

|---|---|
| Mature Width | 1.5 ft |

It can handle very wet soil, but avoid placing the crown where it stays submerged for long stretches.
It performs best with good light, but it can handle some shade if the site stays moist.
Yes, it is a native perennial that supports pollinators during its bloom period.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
