It is a bulbous perennial from Syria, it has pale blue or white flowers.

[3] It generally has about 6 glossy mid-green, lanceolate leaves rising from the base of the stem.

[11] Similar to other Juno irises it prefers well drained soils in full sun.

[8][5] It is not a very widely cultivated by specialist bulb growers, so is difficult to obtain.
