Iris dabashanensis (Several clones)
(formerly sold under the name Iris henryi)
A newly named Iris species collected by Darrell Probst in N.E. Sichuan Province. Belongs to the same Chinensis section of the genus Iris as I. koreana and odaesanensis, but is very different. Best in bright shade/half-sun and in rock gardens. Forms a 12” by 2’ clump of evergreen, grassy foliage 1/8” wide. In mid-spring, numerous 6” stems emerge, each bearing two 1”+ palest lavender Iris flowers with a small, yellow signal. Pictured here in combination with Epimedium platypetalum.
