Excerpt from Edwards's Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery, 1841, Vol. 27: Consisting of Coloured Figures of Plants and Shrubs, Cultivated in British Gardens The fragrance of the owers of this species makes it a desirable border plant, in addition to its pretty appearance. It is found to be a very hardy perennial, requiring about the same treatment as the common Iris sibirica, growing freely in any rich soil, and blossoming about the end of June. It may be easily increased by dividing the old stock. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
