A rather interesting South African cormous perennial named after Robert More an 18th century botanist. It is certainly one for the collector of interesting things. Looking like a yellow Iris it flowers from mid spring and has the most amazing perfume. It has really strange single leaves that can become up to 120cm long. Prefers a sunny well drained site with adequate moisture.
