Need Help with identification

20 years ago

Hi I need help identifying the plant below. It has the leaves of iris, but the flowers are obviously different and it forms large seed pods at the end of summer and reseeds itself. It grows very tall, around 48' when mature and has several blooms per stalk......Any help is appreciated.

It looks like Belamcanda chinensis or blackberry lily.

Pardancandas or candy lilies are a hybrid. Iris chinensis (recently renamed from Belamcanda chinensis) was one of the original parents. Iris dichotoma was the other parent.
As Kristi says above, your plant looks like Iris chinensis. The cancy lilies are very similar but not the same plant. They show considerable colour variation from the blackberry lily, I. chinensis.
