Iris pallida aureovariegata
Available late May
Zebra Iris
Iris pallida aureovariegata has been a favourite in our sunny garden for many years. We would grow it for the golden striped foliage even if it never bloomed. It does produce fragrant lavender blooms the same time as the peonies and Baptisia bloom. Unlike many bearded Iris, the foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season.
