This is an easy to grow Iris with a long bloom period that overlaps with Japanese Iris (Iris ensata 'Oriental Eyes'), a mid season blooming Japanese Iris. It has increased prolifically for me with little special attention. Put this one on your wish list. Bloom stalks have up to 3 buds in the terminal and up to 3 branches. I've seen nearly a 2-week bloom period. The dark eyelash, and vivid yellow signals on the white falls are stunning. The leaves emerge more yellow than green then quickly change to green creating a short lived but stunning effect.
