Not only does its flattie form, with its six falls and no standards, demand attention, but its rich and varied color saturation can only leave one to marvel. Old Sport grows purple-tinted foliage and produces seven buds per stalk. Here's to looking in wonder at you each and every spring, Old Sport! 34 inches in a mid to late season bloom

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
