Description

While the violet-blue flowers are charming and fragrant, the striking foliage is what makes this highly prized iris so fascinating. The long, swordlike leaves are 1–1½" wide, and each blade is green with silver stripes. This iris adds dramatic vertical interest to the landscape whether in a group planting or grown as a specimen. As for its scent, it's reminiscent of grape soda! Deer resistant and drought tolerant. Iris pallida 'Variegata
