This iris is a semi-evergreen rhizomatous Bearded Iris noted for its striking foliage and showy, scented purple flowers. The unique variegated foliage consists of sword-like leaves, elegantly striped with silvery-white and gray-green. Long-lasting, it extends its dramatic interest through fall. Sweetly fragrant, light blue-purple flowers with decorative yellow beards appear in late spring to early summer.
