Pseudata Iris
Iris 'Sakai No Ogon' has yellow falls, small yellow standards and a brown eyelash pattern around the signals. The stems stand 40 inches high with multiple blooms on each stem. This is a pseudata iris, a cross between a Japanese iris (Iris ensata) and Iris pseudacorus. These hybrids have introduced the color yellow into the form of a Japanese iris. Typically they have branched stems with multiple buds on each stem. Pseudata irises thrive in or near water but also do well in garden conditions. They are attractive to hummingbirds while resistant to deer. Although they are vigorous growers, they are sterile and will not spread in waterways.
