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.
