larger image
Dietes iridioides or African Iris are evergreen lily like perennials with long, stiff, leathery sword-like leaves. They grow in fan shape similar to daylilies and spread from rhizomes into good sized 2 ft clumps. These are also called Japanese Iris or Fortnight Lilies.

The flowers are short lived, lasting only a day or two at most, and are the classic 3 petals and 3 sepal configuration of most all iris in milky white with a small brown dotted pattern near the center, yellow markings on each of the large petals and a bright blue stigma rising from the center. Bloom begins to appear early in the spring and in late January to February when few things are lively.

The African Iris is an easy to care for, versatile plant that can be made a part of any garden from Zone 8 to 11. It can be used in mixed perennial beds, mass planted for a striking Spring statement. It will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions and adapt to soils that are consistently moist like creek banks and pond edges.
