aka Flag Iris

Tall Bearded Iris. A beautiful Iris with standards that are a pale pink-burgundy shade complemented by falls in deep rich burgundy. A lovely combination. Nice grey foliage. Easy to grow in a sunny well drained spot. Plant with the rhizome exposed. Perennial.

Standards refers to the 3 upper petals of the flower and falls refers to the three lower petals. The beard is the little cluster of hairs at the top of the falls which is a guide for pollinating insects. No shaving required!
