(syn: I. unguicularis var. angustifolia) Here is a rare opportunity to obtain the dwarf narrow-leaf form of the wonderful winter-flowering Algerian iris. This Jim and Jenny Archibald collection of I. unguicularis ssp. cretensis is from Lakonia, Greece, south of Areopoli. This population of plants produces short, narrow, grass-like foliage and flowers that open well above the leaves. The clumps are topped from late winter through spring with deep violet flowers...perfect for a special place in the rock garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
