Neomarica gracilis commonly called the Brazilian Walking Iris is a gorgeous plant with long strappy lush green leaves. As the leaves grow long, they start arching to give a cascade of green lushness that looks amazing in a hanging basket. It is an excellent plant for ground cover, borders, or rockeries in shade or part-shaded areas. They produce dainty white and blue flowers in spring and summer. After blooming, the flower stem arches and takes root in the ground, growing into another plant and giving this plant the name 'Walking Iris'.
