Iris foetidissima 'Variegata'

Variegated Gladwyn Iris

Evergreen Perennial

A sturdy and flexible evergreen perennial with strappy foliage and striking white variegation. Prized for its flexibility (at home in dry shade or sun!) and its ability to remain attractive even in pressure-filled situations where other less-worthy perennials would whither or look awful. This plant can be a bit hard to locate, but worth the effort.
