Iris graeberiana is an accepted name by the RHS.[4]
There are two other sterile or near sterile hybrids of Iris graeberiana in circulation: Iris graeberiana 'Yellow Fall' is very similar but slightly smaller than 'White Fall' but with more yellow staining on the flower and Iris graeberiana 'Dark Form' is a little taller than the form known as Iris zenaidae but otherwise indistinguishable except that it is sterile. 'Dark form' is the most robust and prolific flowering of these forms though the flowers are a little smaller.

I. graeberiana, 6-8 inches, mauve falls marked cobalt-blue and whitish veins. For a sunny position, April, Turkestan ref http://www.backyardgardener.com/gardening/perennial/Iris.html
from Ussr and central asia 4-6 pale silvery mauve flowers up to 45cm (18in) tall known as one of the more vigorous species. .[5]
General Description: 30-40 cm tall, blue and white flowers (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) 6"-14" tall with blue flowers tinted violet or lavender, strongly veined around the crest. (D. Kramb, 20-SEP-04) Preferred Habitat: Stony slopes (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) Hardiness: Probably zone 5-8, dry summer dormancy (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) Native Range: Turkestan, but little known (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) Central Asia, exact area not known. (D. Kramb, 20-SEP-04) Commercial Availability: Dutch specialists offer (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) Ruksans, Westonbirt plants, Pottertons (Peter Taggart UK, 05-JAN-10) Sources Cited:
- Mathew 1981 (J. McGary, 28-APR-04)
Info entered on 20-SEP-04 comes from the SIGNA Checklist of Iris Species (D. Kramb, 20-SEP-04) Photo shows cultivar 'White Fall' (J. McGary, 28-APR-04) The cultivar 'white fall' is said to be a hybred with I magnifica, 'yellow fall' is said to be a hybred with I bucharica, I graeberiana as I grow it looks almost identical to I zenaidae (ex Ruksans), and a plant I bought as I albomarginata, but I believe this is I albomarginata-hort and not the real thing. I also have I graeberiana 'dark form' which has a slightly more spindly flower with a much better colour. All these plants are hardy in the open ground, well drained, in England (Peter Taggart UK, 05-JAN-10) ref http://www.signa.org/index.pl?Iris-graeberiana
van Tuberg. ex Seaby. 5. Approximately 20cm tall as flowering starts, extending to twice this. Leaves 1.5-3.5cm wide, lustrous green above, greyish beneath with a whitish edge. Flowers 6-7.5cm wide, mainly blue, sometimes with a purple suffusion, the falls with a wavy white crest surrounded by a pale, boldly veined zone, spring. Turkestan, probably in open, stony places. Alpine house, but some growers recommend outside culture if screened from excess summer rain.

ht 15-35cm (6-14in) late spring 4-6 bluish lavender flowers 6-8cm (2.5-3in) wide with a white crerst on each fall leaves have white margins, they have glossy mid green tops, but with greyish green bottoms they are scattered along the stem easier to grow that other Scorpiris species. .[6]
As genera of the Iris go, Iris graeberiana boasts a couple of subtle but impressive differences. For example, its foliage is glossy, mid-green and lance-shaped, but the leaves have a grey colouring on the underside and white margins along its front. The magnificent pale lavender flowers, complete with yellow falls, have dark veins to accentuate the texture of the delicate petals. A popular cottage garden plant, Iris graeberiana thrives in moist but well-drained soil, while its hardiness means it requires less maintenance than some of other species. Still, planting in a sheltered area with access to full sun is recommended ref title=flag url=https://www.99roots.com/en/plants/flag-p38180
It can be seen growing in Le Grand Clos botanique garden in Bourgueil, France. http://irisbotanique.over-blog.com/article-le-grand-clos-botanique-garden-73882267.html
