Japanese irises (abbreviation: JI) require a slightly acid soil and present some of the most spectacular flowers of all the irises. Blooms are usually huge, ruffled and flat in form; some are marbled with gray or white. They bloom about a month after the tall bearded irises. Japanese hybridizers have worked with them for over 500 years.
