- Flower Appearance: Northern blue flag iris produces stunning flowers that typically have bluish-purple petals with yellow or white markings and a bright yellow central patch. The flowers are complex and showy, consisting of three upright petals (standards) and three drooping petals (falls).
- Wetland Habitat: Iris versicolor is well-suited for wetland habitats and is often found growing in or near freshwater wetlands, including swamps, marshes, and along the shores of ponds and lakes. Its ability to thrive in saturated soils and shallow water makes it an essential part of these ecosystems.
- Attracts Pollinators: The showy flowers of northern blue flag iris are attractive to a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The structure of the flowers is designed to facilitate pollination, with visiting insects coming into contact with the flower's reproductive parts.
- Rhizomatous Growth: Like many iris species, Iris versicolor spreads through rhizomes, which are underground stems. This growth habit allows it to form dense clumps of plants, stabilizing soil in wetland areas and helping to prevent erosion.
- Ornamental Use: While its native habitat is in wetlands, Iris versicolor is also cultivated for its ornamental value in gardens and landscapes. Gardeners appreciate its vibrant flowers and its ability to add color to water gardens or other moist areas.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
