This recently introduced Iris speaks of dark intrigues and deep red passions. 10-14 blooms per stem keep opening to the very end of the Iris season! Both the ruby standards and darker burgundy falls are luxuriously ruffled and quite large. They hold their rich color and exquisite broad form even in bad weather. Blooms mid to late season on 37-39" stems.
