Chartreuse or creamery butter falls (the 3 big lower petals) and white standards (the next 3 petals plus the small upright ones) on stems to 38" makes this such an easy Iris to use in combination with so many other colors and is a refreshing change from the predominant blues and purples. All the sibirica are hardy as heck.
