Can someone please explain the difference between the two. Are they
considered synonymous, or seperate cultivars? Any info you can provide
will be much appreciated.
I have always been a fan of variegated plants and have paid close
attention to all variegated iris species. There is only one variegated
Iris ensata. It has been around for many years as cv./forma variegata.
It was finally registered as 'Silverband'. There have been a few
seedlings that show some variegation but I don't think any have been
stable. It's safe to say that any variegated I. ensata you are likely
to encounter can be labeled with the cultivar name of 'Silverband'.
