Blueberry Tart Iris is an early-season bloomer, and reblooms later in the season. Sweet, velvety, berry-blue petals are marked with a pastry-crust tan tone, and flare out elegantly. At just 11 to twelve inches tall, these dwarf blue irises are perfect for the front of the border. Herald the arrival of spring with these tasty irises, and enjoy mixing them with other flowers on their second round of blooms. Iris 'Blueberry Tart'
