With white and lavender blue flowers that are 5-6" across and largely horizontal in form, this Japanese iris blooms a bit later than the others in this group, extending the flowering season. Picotee Wonder shares the preference for moist soil that's common within the Japanese iris family. Finally, a plant that's happy with wet feet!
