It belongs to the Iridaceae family and is recognized for its clumping growth pattern and elongated, sword-shaped leaves, typically growing up to 2 feet in height. The plant produces flowers that exhibit hues ranging from pale lavender to deep purple, often accompanied by yellow or white markings. Douglas Iris blooms from late winter to spring, serving as an important component of coastal habitats by attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
