Plant Description

The Iris japonica, or fringed iris, is a captivating evergreen perennial known for its delicate, ruffled flowers and sword-shaped leaves. Its blooms, which appear in late spring, are pale lavender to light blue with intricate fringed edges and vibrant orange or yellow markings on the falls. Growing in clumps, the Iris japonica thrives in shaded areas, making it ideal for woodland gardens or moist, sheltered borders. Its rhizomatous growth habit allows it to spread gracefully, creating a lush, ornamental groundcover.
