German iris has typical iris flowers. Each is composed of six perianth segments: three outer sepals called "falls", alternating with three inner petals, called "standards." Each sepal has a tuft of hairs down its inner midline: the "beard." The beard hairs are usually white with yellow tips. The flowers are fragrant and come with white, purple, yellow or blue perianth segments. There can be as many as half a dozen flowers on a stalk.
German iris is a widely cultivated plant and hundreds of hybrids and cultivars are available. These plants vary greatly in size and flower color.
