Mount Fuji Japanese Iris is a marginal deciduous perennial with a clumping habit. The long light green sword-like foliage has a strong central rib and fans upwards. Sturdy stalks that grow from the center of the plant are topped by large crisp white three-petaled flowers with a yellow layered center in summer, attracting bees. Grows best in rich, slightly acidic, moist to wet water-retentive soils.
