Available for store pickup only.

Native to Japan, Japanese Irises (Iris ensata) are among the most elegant and breathtaking Irises. More refined and less conspicuous than the Tall Bearded Irises, these Beardless Irises feature huge orchid-like flowers that are a delight to gaze at. Usually ruffled and flat in form, they rise on erect, sturdy stems atop a dense clump of sword-shaped, linear green leaves, up to 24 in. long (60 cm), with prominent midribs. They have been cultivated in Japan for over 500 years and are referred to as Hanashobu in Japan.

Japanese Irises tend to be tall, up to 3-4 ft. high (90-120 cm), with large and incredibly attractive flowers, which may reach up to 10 in. across (30 cm). Their exquisite flowers are broader and more flattened than those of other common Irises.
