Iris confusa | Also known as: Flag, Sword Lily, Iris | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
Like so many Iris flowers, the blossoms of Iris confusa are highly admired for the intricacy of their design and the beauty of their colours. Known as the Bamboo Iris, Iris confusa has long, lance-shaped leaves that grow from tall, slim yellowy-green stems that resemble bamboo. Its flowers are a delicate mix of six petals alternating between plain white or light lavender, golden crests with purple spots. At home in moist though not waterlogged alkaline soil, it requires full sun to prosper. Ideal for informal or cottage gardens, rockeries and borders, it is susceptible to frost, so growing under glass and keeping indoors may be necessary.
