Iris virginica, also known as Southern Blue Flag Iris and Virginia Iris, is a gorgeous perennial species of flowering plant, native to eastern North America. It is commonly found along the coastal plain from Florida to Georgia in the Southeastern United States. Featuring 2 to 4 erect or arching, bright green, lance-shaped leaves that are flattened into one plane at the base, this plant showcases exquisitely fragrant flowers consisting of 3 horizontal sepals and 3 erect petals. The sepals and petals are available in a variety of colors ranging from dark-violet to pinkish-white. The Cherokee use this medicinal plant for traditional purposes such as healing the liver and treating skin ailments. Iris virginica is a wonderful addition to any herb garden or natural landscape.
