The White Iris (Moraea iridioides), also known as the African Iris or Fortnight Lily, is a striking evergreen perennial prized for its graceful, sword-like foliage and delicate white flowers accented with yellow and purple markings. Blooming in cycles throughout spring and summer, each flower lasts only a day, but new blooms appear in succession, keeping the display fresh and continuous.

Native to South Africa, this hardy perennial is ideal for borders, containers, and water-wise gardens. It’s drought-tolerant once established and adapts easily to a wide range of soil conditions, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for gardeners.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade.

  • Water: Moderate water needs; drought-tolerant once established.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil but tolerates sandy and rocky soils.

  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage blooms.

  • Growth Habit: Clumping perennial with upright foliage; grows 2–4 feet tall.

  • Hardiness: USDA zones 8–11; tolerates heat and coastal conditions.

  • Pet Safety: ✅ Non-toxic to pets.

👉 Plant the Moraea iridioides White Iris in your garden for elegant, ever-blooming flowers and easy, reliable performance.
