One way to get your chocolate fix! Reddish chocolate and warm white plicata, beards mustard tan to violet. Exact color of chocolate varies with the weather, and the fall ring is slightly more purple-toned. Grows to 38" and blooms early to mid season.

Iris rhizomes are best divided and transplanted after the plants finish blooming and have enough time to store nutrition in their roots. July through September is the best time to dig them up in Ohio. All Iris are grown on my farm and shipped from my home, bareroot with foliage and roots attached. BONUS rhizomes are always included at an average rate of 1 for every 5 purchased...my choice.
