Patersonia occidentalis ‘Purple Flag’ – 140MM

(Not currently available to be ordered)

I am Purple Flag. My family originated from southern Australia

Botanic Name: Patersonia occidentalis

Strappy/Grasses – Vivid Purple Flowers

I am a native hardy small growing iris with prolific 3 petaled, mostly blue to purple blooms. My flowers are on long stems which hold them above my fine strappy foliage.

I am a hardy tuft-forming perennial due to my rhizomatous root system. I tolerate both frost and dry conditions.

Each bloom lasts only a day but are produced in such profusion that I create a stunning visual effect particularly when mass planted.

As a very easy to care for plant I work well in borders, to add textural accents to the garden and in pots.

My flowers attract bees, butterflies and beneficial insects.
