Ready to flirt with its deep purple eyelashes that decorate its soft lavender petals, Iris pseudata ‘Tsukiyono’ is a romantically charming selection with its large multi-colored flowers that make a statement when mass-planted in the rain garden. ‘Tsukiyono’, which translates to ‘Moonlit Field’, is a Pseudata Iris that truly evokes the gentle caress of moonlight softly touching nighttime flora with an ethereal glow. From mid-May to late June and often into July, profuse blooms erupt above strappy medium green foliage, lavender petals unfurling to reveal yellow centers with dark purple margins. The bright yellow attracts pollinators, namely bees, although hummingbirds may be a rare visitor! Reminiscent of highly variable heirloom irises, ‘Tsukiyono’ Pseudata Iris deserves its place as a revered specimen in the cottage garden, rain garden, or mixed within the part shade perennial border.
