    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Doesn't the name sound enchanting? The actual plants fall a little short of rainbow hues but form runnery mats with clusters of grass-like leaves bearing striking white flowers. Reminiscent of a Siberian Iris they have a reputation for being hard to transplant but we have had no problems. ZONE 4
