Iris Foetidissima Description
This unique iris bears small, soft lavender blooms in late spring, but the show doesn't end there. When the flowers fade, clusters of large, orange-red seedpods take their place and last into the next spring. Evergreen variegated foliage forms tidy mounds that adds year-round texture and colour to borders and beds. Foliage is unpleasantly aromatic if bruised or cut, hence this perennial's nickname, The Stinking Iris.
