Beautiful large groupings of African Iris Dietes iridioides can be seen blooming all around town this time of year. Hope you'll enjoy looking at the different ways people have utilized this hearty iris in their gardens.
The African iris hails from Kenya and is considered a "Florida-Friendly" plant because it is very drought tolerant once it is established. They look great when featured in one large bed,
or as a border plant as shown below in front of the roses.
This gardener has made it a featured plant among various greenery.
However you choose to use it, you won't be disappointed by this beautiful but tough plant that flowers sporadically throughout spring, summer and fall.
More information on this plant that gives so much, but requires so little care can be found at Floridata.
