Dietes iridioides White Tiger

Common Name:
White Tiger Butterfly Iris

Description:
Dietes iridioides 'White Tiger' is a hardy, clump-forming perennial known for its elegant white flowers with intricate yellow and violet markings. Resembling butterflies, the blooms appear intermittently throughout the year, especially in warmer months. This evergreen plant has long, arching, strap-like leaves that provide year-round structure in the garden. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is tolerant of a wide range of soils, including poor or sandy conditions. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens. 'White Tiger' is ideal for mass planting, borders, rockeries, and waterwise gardens, and it also performs well in pots.
