Description

This flax lily has an upright, architectural habit with blue-green foliage that reaches about 18 inches high in full sun and approximately 2 feet in partial shade. Like Little Becca, this plant also has a spreading nature that lends itself to mass plantings. However, with some maintenance, Little Rev can be pruned to create very nice specimen or group plantings. Flowers sparsely in spring with clusters of small violet flowers borne on tall stems that reach upwards of 24 to 30 inches. Best suited to Western gardens.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
