Yarai Pseudata Iris is a clumping marginal perennial with upward fanning rich green sword-like foliage. Sturdy stalks are topped by dramatic peach flowers with prominant wine red veining and halo around a yellow signal that blooms from late spring into summer, attracting bees. Grows best in standing water with full sun and rich, slightly acidic water-retentive soils. A non-invasive hybrid.
