The English Iris grows to a height of 50 cm[1] The plant flowers in June or July, producing two or three deep blue flowers with yellow marks in the center of the lower petals. Flowers are six-petaled and 12-13 centimeters in diameter.

Leaves are stiff and sword-shaped, approximately 60 cm long, and dark green to teal in color. Leaves begin growth in early spring, before the snow has entirely melted.
