Bearded irises have been cultivated to have much larger blooms than historically; the flowers are now twice the size of those a hundred years ago. Ruffles were introduced in the 1960s to help stabilize the larger petals. [31] Bearded iris are easy to cultivate and propagate and have become very popular in gardens.
The English names walking iris, apostle's iris and apostle plant have been used for many species, regardless of the generic placement (e.g. for Trimezia gracilis, syn. Neomarica gracilis). New plantlets form at the end of the flower spikes; after flowering, the spikes fall over and a new plant grows, so the plant "walks".

[17] It has a chromosome count: 2n=42, [3] [23] [19] It has been counted several times. 2n=42, differing from some other Louisiana iris species, so hybrids from crossing with those other species should have an odd number of chromosomes, for example, if an ...
