Exotic white flowers with yellow and purple-blue markings burst from stalks amid stiff, iris-like evergreen foliage. Profuse bloomer; blooms last only one day but are quickly replaced.

Maintenance

Most floriferous if deadhead flowers. May be invasive if let flowers go to seed. Divide every 2-3 years.
