Another species flowering in the order beds of Copenhagen Botanic Garden, Denmark, was Iris orientalis (Turkish iris). This robust, semi-evergreen, herbaceous perennial reaches nearly 1m tall and in early summer produces clusters of up to 5 flowers. This plant thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in a sheltered position with full sun or partial shade.
