Plant ID please

Can anyone help with ID on this plant. It was bought as a day lilly which it isn't. Its the two clumps with the spikey leaves and the spires of white and yellow flowers.

Many thanks, Dawn

Looks like sisyrinchium (sp.?).

We have a garden full of them and they look just like them.

They're related to the iris, hence the sword shaped, upright leaves in a flat fan pattern.

We gave away a couple of wheelbarrow loads of them a couple of months back to make room for veg.
They're one of my favourite plants we have. My wife hates them !

your plant is deffinately from the iris family, to divide it for more plants just chop the tubas in half

I love it but it is very invasive. My Mother hated it it used to appear the minute she turned her back (apparently!)

Thank you all for your replies. Glad to hear that I will be able to divide it easily as we still have a lot of space to fill. Our long periods of heat and drought here will probably keep it from being too invasive. Its been flowering now non-stop for about 2 months so its certainly earning its keep!

I have one growing in my compost heap I threw it away as there was lots of it. Does look quite pretty in flower.
