Iris anguifuga, commonly known as Snake-bane Iris, is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial native to temperate areas of Asia. It has narrow green leaves, long stem and violet or blue flowers. It is hardy between USDA Zone 1 and Zone 6, but may survive in lower temperatures. It prefers sandy, well drained soils and is vigorous in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. It is unique in its growth habit as a rhizomous iris, as it is dormant and leafless during most of the 'normal' growing season, then in late fall / autumn (in China), it begins to grow new leaves and is evergreen through the winter and produces flowers in the spring and goes dormant again. It is cultivated in the western part of Hubei in China as a medicinal plant, as the rhizome is ground into a paste and then can be applied to snakebites as a herbal remedy. It is also thought in China, that the iris has the ability to keep snakes from entering the garden.
