Iris versicolor, native to North America, is a herbaceous perennial commonly found in wetlands and along streambanks. It features striking blue flowers with a greenish-yellow blotch at the base, blooming from May to July. The plant grows up to 31 inches tall and forms large clumps from creeping rhizomes. Known for its adaptability, it can thrive in both standing water and dry land. Despite its beauty, the plant's sap can cause skin irritation, and its leaves and roots are toxic if ingested.
