Dietes Bicolor, or Yellow Wild Iris, is a striking, low-maintenance perennial known for its elegant pale yellow flowers adorned with dark markings. Blooming in cycles throughout the warmer months, each flower lasts just a day, but the plant continuously produces new blooms. Its slender, arching, sword-like leaves create a lush, evergreen display, making it perfect for borders, pond edges, or mass plantings. Drought-tolerant once established, Dietes bicolor thrives in both garden beds and wetland areas, adding a graceful touch to any landscape.
