Iris question

John:
Following is a description I have for I. cyclogossa, but I have no
experience with it...
"Delightfully fragrant Juno species with up to 9 large clear lilac
flowers in the leaf axils. They open in succession from top downwards.
Crest yellow, surrounded by a broad white zone. Standards small, arching
over the falls, giving the flower a 'flat' appearance. Late flowering,
in June. Ht. 16-24 inches."
John Bryan's book, Bulbs, indicates, even though a Juno, it still needs
some summer moisture.

I saw an iris new to me in a catalog and wondered what
kind of conditions it needs. It is Iris cycloglossa.
It's listed with the Rockgarden iris. Does it have
short flowers and tall leaves like the reticulatas?
The catalog says it blooms in May/June, 4-5". That's
too late to plant back in the bed to hide the foliage
as everything is pretty well started by then.
Any and all help is appreaciated. Thanks.
