Spuria. AGM A strong upright grower with sword-like leaves and sparkling white flowers with a golden yellow thumb-print to 1m+. Good soil in sun. Takes a while to settle.

Rarely seen in gardens these days but this species from Turkey and Greece is easily grown and will flower well once established. As with most Spuria group irises Iris orientalis is somewhat salt tolerant.

Syn. Iris ochroleuca.
