Moderate to fast-growing evergreen perennial with narrow stiff upright green leaves forming a large clump to 24-30″ tall and wide. Stems of showy long-lasting iris-like creamy-yellow flowers with vivid brownish-maroon spots rise above the foliage spring through summer nearly year-round in mild climates. Well-suited in beds or mixed borders as an accent or container specimen or as an exotic-looking poolside planting. Tolerates heat and has low water needs once established. Full to partial sun.
