In Love with Japanese Irises

With big, blousy blooms that can be seen from across the yard, Japanese irises will bring a burst of color to your Midwest garden.

Iris colors

Most Japanese iris come in solid colors, usually with contrasting styles; some have veins of another color on their falls. If you really want to know the lingo, "rays" are white veins twice as wide as other veins. 'Izu No Umi', at left, is a three-fall single Japanese iris that has white rays on a blue background.
