Walking Blue Iris, “Apostle Plant”
Walking Blue Iris, “Apostle Plant”
The Apostle Plant, a striking member of the iris family, is prized for its gorgeous, orchid-like blue flowers and graceful, sword-like foliage. Native to South America, this unique plant gets its name from the belief that it must produce at least 12 leaves before it blooms, resembling the number of Jesus’ apostles. Its stunning, deep blue to purple blooms appear in succession, lasting only a day each but continuously reblooming, creating a mesmerizing floral display. Traditionally, the Apostle Plant has been used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Thriving in warm, humid environments with partial shade, this low-maintenance, clumping perennial is perfect for adding tropical elegance to gardens, borders, and even container plantings.
