Gently ruffled, slightly fragrant petals are coloured creamy white with variable streaks of violet-purple. The blooms' edges and beards are mustard yellow, while the hairs are purple tipped. This award-winning iris has a strong growth habit.

Irises are hardy and easy to grow, with attractive foliage and spectacular flowers. The characteristic bloom form—three upright petals (standards) sitting atop three larger, outer sepals (falls)—makes it one of world's most recognizable flowering plants.
