Pseudata Iris

Iris ‘Byakuya No Kuni’ has creamy white falls, yellow style arms and purple eyelashes around the yellow signals. The standards are very small. The stems stand 37 inches high and have 2 branches with at least 7 buds on each stem. The name Byakuya No Kuni means “land of the midnight sun”. This is a peusadata iris, a cross between a Japanese iris (Iris ensata) and Iris psedacorus. These hybrids have introduced the color yellow into the form of a Japanese iris. Peudadata irises thrive in or near water but also do well in garden conditions. They are attractive to hummingbirds while resistant to deer. They are vigorous growers but they are sterile and will not spread in waterways. Iris is the name of the Greek goddess of the rainbow. The classic ‘Fleur de Lys’ which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history is an adaptation of the iris flower.
