Blackberry Lily 
Iris domestica 
            Native to eastern Asia, and long considered a lily, plant genetics now prove this showy old-fashioned perennial is an iris.  The speckled flowers bloom in early summer on plants reaching 3 to 4 feet in height. They usually require staking or some form of support.  The unusual seed clusters resemble blackberries, hence the name. Grown by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello and by other early American gardeners.  Minimum 20 seeds, $4.50. Germination 94%. Packed for 2025.
