Iris croatica (scientific name: Iris croatica), endemic to Croatia, is an evergreen perennial herb in the family Iridaceae . It has well-developed rhizomes with thick, green, sword-shaped rhizomatous leaves that crawl horizontally. From May to June, a slender flower stalk emerges from among the leaves and produces six-petaled flowers at the top of the stem. The flowers are dark purple with white veins on the throat.
