Iris pallida ‘Variegata’

From Croatia, this iris has leaves with broad, vertical swathes of cream or gold and the foliage alone keeps this one in high demand! Sweetly fragrant pale blue flowers with yellow beards appear late spring to early summer and contrast nicely against the leaves. Full sun to part shade (more shade tolerant than other iris); most soils (humusy well drained preferred), average water, but drought tolerant.
