Neomarica caerulea ‘Regina’
Neomarica caerulea 'Regina' is an exquisite giant apostle's iris with lush foliage and delicately detailed mauve flowers.

Neomarica caerulea ‘Regina’, known as giant apostles’ iris, is a wide-leaved, long-blooming, iris-like evergreen that has 3-4 inch wide purple-blue flowers accented by strikingly brilliant jade foliage, which assumes a more clumping and upright habit than the more common walking iris. The mauve flowers are spotted with darker purple and striped with burgundy, yellow, white and dark purple for an exquisite display. Light fragrance. Grow in containers and protect where not hardy.
