The long and narrow falls are oblanceolate, 5β5.5 cm (2β2 in) long and 0.8 cm (0 in) wide, they are sometimes marked with brown or purple lines or dots on the edges and along the centre of the petal. The standards are also oblanceolate, but are 5β4.5 cm (2β2 in) long and 0.3 cm (0 in) wide. They also have purple or brown markings.

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. In colder
