Iris pallida 'Variegata Gold' is a striking clump-forming perennial prized for its upright, sword-like foliage featuring bold gold and green vertical stripes. In late spring, it produces fragrant, lavender-blue flowers that famously smell like grape soda. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. Ideal for borders or mass plantings, it provides year-round texture and vibrant color even when not in bloom, reaching up to 36 inches tall.
