Its attractive, tall, sword-like foliage provides year-round interest, while spring brings a spectacular display of showy purple, blue, lavender, cream, or white flowers that bloom above the foliage and brighten the garden with long-lasting seasonal color. Highly valued as a pollinator plant, Douglas iris attracts native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects and performs beautifully in borders, rock gardens, erosion-control plantings, rain gardens with good drainage, and low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e deciduous, perennial, herbaceous plant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12-36\" tall, slowly forming clumps up to 48\" wide over time\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e full sun, part sun\/part shade\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003edry to moist soil, prefers well-drained\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eMarch - July\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003emedium growth rate, easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife support:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers attract and provide nectar for hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest-eating insects\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative habitat\/range:\u003c\/strong\u003e grows on coastal cliffs, in pastures and on grassy slopes, usually from sea level to only about 100m, generally within two miles from coast, from Southern Oregon to Central \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalifornia.
