The BEST Japanese Iris we have ever seen! Beautiful, breath taking blooms are multi-colored: lavender, fuchsia with yellow…Needs full sun and constant moisture during the warm months. Happy at the edge of a pond, in a bog garden, or in a wet container…ours is happy in the border with a bit of extra water. 36-48" tall, slowly expanding clump. This is a fantastic cut flower too. If you have a spot for this, you won't be disappointed.
