Pacific Coast Iris 'Copper' flowering in garden with Euphorbia dulcus 'Chameleon'

Iris douglasiana, Pacific Coast iris, is a perennial adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This striking plant features showy copper-colored flowers that bloom in the garden alongside other drought-tolerant beauties like Euphorbia characias ‘Chameleon’. Pacific Coast iris grows in clumps with slender, sword-like leaves and reaches a height of about 1 to 2 feet. This plant thrives in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for mediterranean climates. Pacific Coast iris is native to the coastal regions of California and Oregon, where it can be found in grasslands and open woodlands. Its low water needs make it a sustainable and water-wise addition to any garden. In addition to its ornamental value, Pacific Coast iris attracts pollinators and adds color and texture to mixed border plantings.
