Unlike the German Iris, they enjoy moist or 
almost swampy ground, but will thrive in well 
drained soil if they are given sufficient water 
during the dry Summer season. They come into 
bloom right after the German Iris and are at 
their best in July. It is not unusual to have 
flowers 6 to 8 inches across. They are different 
in character from the German Iris in that they 
do not have the distinct standards and their 
falls are practically horizontal.
