Iris Chrysographes

I was at a nursery closing sale yesterday and bought this iris, Iris
Chrysographes.  The catalog described it at reddish-purple with yellow
veining, native to Korea. Sounds neat, and unlike anything else I have in
color. I planted it next to the Siberians, which is resembles closely at
this point in time, both being inch tall green spikes. Does anybody know
anything more about this plant? I assume it's hardy and does acceptably in
decent garden soil.

BTW, any guesses on pronunciation? CRY-so-GRAF-ees is my current
pronunciation. I never heard of the thing before yesterday.

Thankx
