Iris cristata 'alba' watch for white root aphid. POT Aphids A most unusual and impressivelyWonderful plant. A member of the Crested Irises. It is a low growing, short stemmed and vey floriferous plant. The white variety. A native of North America where it grows in woods, along streams and rocky places. It is spectacular in flower in spring over a long timeframe. I have one in the full sun and one that is many years old in a dappled woodland setting in poor soil, beside a path, where is has formed an impressive spread mass of colour., Tidy
