Iris ensata Sweet Murmur Pinellia The 1' tall x 2'This 1961 deer resistant introduction from Oregon's Japanese iris guru, Walter Marx, is one of the shorter Japanese iris we have grown, topping out, starting in mid June, at 26" tall with flat 6" wide flowers. The wavy petals are white in the center with a ruffled dark purple border a very nice hummingbird treat. Moist to regular garden soils are fine for Iris 'Sweet Murmur', but divide the clumps every 3 4 years for best flowering.
