African Iris is a clumping, evergreen perennial known for its upright, sword-like green leaves and delicate iris-like flowers in shades of white or pale yellow with contrasting markings. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and offers excellent heat, drought, and coastal tolerance once established. With its clean form, long blooming period, and low-maintenance nature, African Iris is ideal for borders, mass plantings, and Florida-friendly landscapes seeking a refined, durable accent plant.
