Iris unguicularis

Rare & precious, this tough little iris blooms anytime October and March. Grassy foliage in clumps 18" high and wide is evergreen, lavender beardless iris flowers are especially beautiful during the grim months of winter…if cut and brought indoors, one flower will infuse an entire room with its honey-lemon-vanilla scent! Enjoys a hot and dry location and thrives in most soils that are not too wet. Seems to thrive on neglect!
