The flower heads of Iris hookeri are a soft mid-blue with striking deep blue veins and a blotched white centre. Beachhead Iris is tolerant of salt spray so it is the perfect choice for coastal or seaside gardens. Its compact growth also make it a suitable choice for rock gardens and container planting.
