Iris cristata 'Tennessee White'

Crested Iris

This delightful selection of Crested Iris came to us from Don Shadow in Winchester, TN. Tennessee White is a vigorous spreader and prolific bloomer, covering the fan-like foliage with brilliant white flowers in spring, each accented with delicate yellow crests. Its late spring show starts earlier and lasts longer than the other selections we've tried.
