Iris 'Shirabyoshi' has white falls with cream centers and a bright reddish purple eyelash pattern around the yellow signals. The standards are small and white with white style arms. It stands 33 inches high with multiple blooms on each stalk in early to mid season. The flowers are quite large, measuring 6 inches in diameter. The name “Shirabyoshi“ means white dancing girl. This is a pseudata iris, a cross between a Japanese iris (Iris ensata) and Iris pseudacorusa. 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.
