SPURIAS 
The Spurias, sometimes called "Butterfly Iris’, have no beard upon their flaring 
petals. In general appearance, the flower resembles the Spanish and Dutch irises which 
are extensively used by florists, but the flowers are larger. The Spurias have stalks 
three to five feet high which have several branches which lie close to the main stalk 
and numerous flowers are borne on each stalk. The leaves are like those of the cat-tail. 
They are much at home in the milder climates such as the South and the Pacific 
Coast, but they are grown successfully as far north as New England. Their cultural 
requirements are much like those of the bearded iris but they must not be allowed to 
dry out too much in transplanting. 
The flowers are not as fragile as the bearded iris and are excellent for cutting 
as well as for border planting.
