Iris douglasiana x innominata [Hunter Creek]

We've long suspected these could be intermediate between the two species with both occurring together only a few miles from the pacific. Finally finding them in flower, this was confirmed. robust clumps to 18 to 2ft in height by 2ft in width with wide shiny green leaves flowers range from light blue to nearly violet some to cream or partially yellow. Evergreen excellent in the native garden able to take long periods of summer drought. Flowering mid spring excellent large scale ground cover. Sun to dappled shade in inland areas USDA zone 7b.
