French Filigree - Tall Bearded Iris

French Filigree opens the tall bearded iris season with opalescent white blooms finely traced in colour. Delicate lavender and burgundy plicata stitching adds detail to the standards and falls, while deeper violet-black hafts create a dramatic contrast. Mustard beards tipped in gold finish this elegant, very early display.
