About Dinner Plate Sundae

Purple-veined white 6" flower with bright yellow flares. Its purple standards, edged in white, are so short they make the flower look almost as flat as a...dinner plate.

About Iris, Japanese

Huge, flat iris blossoms. Native to Japanese and Siberian pond edges, so they require moisture, but will do well in gardens if watered regularly. Requires good drainage in winter. Blooms about a month after bearded iris, from late June into early July. See more Iris (Bearded, Blue Flag, Crested, Siberian) and Blackberry Lily and Candy Lily. And see a diagram showing the iris terms used here.
