Medium orange standards. Falls are a rich and plush deep burgundy with a light edge. Wide and ruffled flowers with a sharp delineation of color that creates a very showy effect. They have a lovely, sweet fragrance. Early to m id season blooms 38 inches
A Note from Bonnie 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. Bonniepetalswings.com
