Branching out from spring pastels? This warm-toned darling has got you covered. It's an intermediate iris, which means it'll grow to a mature height somewhere between a dwarf and tall bearded iris. Great news if you want a mixed-iris border, you can create easy levels with dwarf varieties down front, tall bearded iris in the back and bring that show to life with Red Hot Chili's wild bicolor in the middle. And there's more good news; you'll see these lovely blooms during Red Hot Chili's first spring in your garden. Iris germanica 'Red Hot Chili'
