Loyalty Japanese Iris is a marginal deciduous perennial with a clumping habit and long sword-like foliage that fans upwards. The sturdy central stalks are topped with large double royal purple to violet blue flowers with yellow stripes on the crests through summer attracting bees. Grows best in rich, slightly acidic, moist to wet water-retentive soils.
