Fruited Plain - Tall Bearded Iris

Fruited Plain brings a richly coloured, ruffled presence to the tall bearded iris border. Amaranth-rose standards and style arms echo across the falls, where a washed-purple flush fades to a pale pink rim. Tangerine beards, fine pale-pink hairs tipped in tangerine, and gently serrated edges add detail to every bloom. A slight sweet fragrance completes the display.
