Other than Immortality, I'm looking for a pure white 38-42 tall, prefer e-mid, but this characteristic not as imp as pure color and height.

Bought one last fall, so anticipating a show—it was white/blue. Grrrrr.

Try Mesmerizer. It is pure white (but has a yellow beard), in my garden grows taller than its registered 36 inch height, and is very vigorous.


Skating Party is popular too, but may be too short for your needs.

I agree with Skating Party.. just a lovely form.

The best modern white Iris come from Joe Ghio.
My Beloved has a perfect ruffled form, but I'm not sure if it's tall enough for your criteria..

A lot of people in our club have really embraced Battlestar Atlantis.. I grew it, and it's a good performer..

I've grown Lacy Snowflake for close to 30 years, so I know it's a survivor.. It's on the taller side.

If you wanted to go deeper into the historics, New Snow is pretty wonderful.. I recall it being very tall..

Snow Flurry, like Immortality has a blue blush when first opened.. It's tall and elegant..

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

I think my choice is Lacy snowflake. The pic from a lilifan here were deciding factor. Now to keep my eyes peeled for buying in the fall. Thanks for your help.

Skating Party was probably the prettiest but it would have looked off with the other talks I have. Too bad.
