A tall iris, with striking and unique yellow and green variegated foliage, Variegated Sweet Iris has beautiful, scented, lavender-blue flowers with yellow beards. Foliage will last through fall, long after the flowers are spent for the season (simply cut the flower stalks to let the foliage shine), making this Variegated Iris a great backdrop for shorter plants.
Recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, Iris pallida 'Aureo Variegata' is hardy, easy to grow, and low maintenance. Plant en masse along foundations or borders, or in cutting gardens for fabulous cut flowers. Zebra Iris doesn’t like to have wet feet, so make sure it is planted in well-drained soil. Deer, rabbit and drought tolerant.
Also known as Variegated Orris Root, Variegated Dalmatian Iris, and Variegated Tall Bearded Iris.
