Iris ensata 'Variegata'

Variegated Japanese Water Iris

Zones 4-9

Iris ensata 'Variegata' is not only a beautiful flowering iris, but it also has great garden interest when it isn’t blooming. The green foliage is striped with white variegation, creating an irresistible plant you need in the garden. Iris ensata ‘Variegata’ is perfect for landscaping near water features, containers, or in any woodland garden. Our good friend, Jay Sifford of Sifford Garden Design, loves using the variegated foliage in his landscape designs. It’s easy to use and provides great contrast in color, texture, and can even be used as a cut flower. ‘Variegata’ blooms in early to mid-summer and performs best in full sun to partial sun. This variegated Japanese Water Iris has also been known as 'Silver Band'.
