Dietes iridioides, commonly known as the Fortnight Lily, is a resilient rhizomatous evergreen perennial native to southern Africa. It features stiff, sword-shaped, dark green leaves that form attractive fan-shaped clumps. The plant produces dainty white flowers with yellow and violet markings on wiry stems, blooming in bursts throughout the year. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, or containers, it thrives in full sun to part shade and is remarkably drought-tolerant once established.
