Iris hellenica is a rhizomatous perennial plant species in the genus Iris and the subgenus Iris. It is native to temperate Europe and found in Greece, on Peloponnese, on the slopes of Ziria, Mount Saito. It has grey-green, sickle-shaped leaves, a tall slender stem, 2–3 white, lavender-blue, lilac or purple flowers and orange/purple beards. It was thought once to be a hybrid species of Iris germanica which also grows in the same area, before being separated into 2 species. It is rarely cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions and is listed as 'Endangered' in Greece. It can be propagated by division or by seed growing, but is poisonous and can cause stomach pains and vomiting if ingested.
