It was identified as a separate species by Edgar Anderson and is one of the three iris species in Ronald Fisher's famous Iris flower data set. This plant grows up to 0.6-0.9 meters tall and has sword-shaped basal leaves. Its blue-violet flowers bloom from May to July and have a typical iris shape. Iris virginica is found in wet areas such as marshes, swamps, and river bottoms. It has traditional medicinal uses among the Cherokee and Seminole tribes. This plant is also used as an example in linear discriminant analysis.
