Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The light yellow flowered version of this impeccable miniature bearded Iris native to Turkey. Comparatively big flowers on short stems over very low foliage gives this an irrestible charm. Don't let the small size fool you - this is one tough little dude hardy to minus 30F and takes some dry.
