Fairly old-school cultivar of the always-delightful Eastern US native dwarf Iris, and follows the equally old-school trend of calling vaguely indigo-ish plants "blue" in the pursuit of horticultural marketing. The historic name is perhaps more true to life, the flowers exchange their usual study in a variety of soft lavender tints for a more uniform pop of purple.
