Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'White City' bears large, pale blue flowers which fade to white as they mature, with orange-white beards. It's ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, and makes an excellent cut flower.
For best results grow Iris 'White City' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
