African Butterfly Iris
African Butterfly Iris is an evergreen perennial with a clumping habit. The long dark green sword-like foliage fans upwards and sturdy stalks that hold the flower heads grow from the center of the plant. African Butterfly Iris sports large white flowers with a yellow and purple layered center that last a day and quickly replaced from spring to fall. Prefers partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
