Iris ensata 'Shinto Rings' is a 2001 registration from the late Shuichi Hirao of Japan that has been stunning in our garden. The clumps of upright foliage are topped, starting in mid-June, with spikes of large white flowers with each petal surrounded by a 0.5" wide violet margin...stunning! Iris ensata can be grown equally well in a few inches of standing water or in a regularly irrigated garden soil.
