The Regina Iris is a stunning perennial known for its elegant, lavender-blue blooms that appear in early spring, adding a burst of color to gardens and landscapes. An interesting characteristic of the Regina iris is its natural ability to attract butterflies, making it a beautiful and pollinator-friendly choice.
In southern Louisiana, the Regina iris typically grows to a height of 24 to 36 inches with a spread of 12 to 18 inches. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited for USDA zones 6-10, handling mild winters with ease. This iris prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, but be careful not to overwater to avoid root rot.
