Eco Easter Fringed Iris is a long-lived woodland evergreen perennial with thin sword-like green foliage that fans upwards with arching tips. Eco Easter is heavy bloomer with larger fragrant flowers that are pastel lavender-blue with gold throats and adjacent purple spotting which bloom in early to mid spring attracting hummingbirds. Grows best in part sun and moist well-drained soils. Tolerates near full shade.
