Unmatched texture and color: Tiger Honey brings an artistic twist to classic German iris form. Its butterscotch-toned standards are unpredictably streaked with bright yellow, adding layers of color from the first glance. The flared falls are equally striking—striped and speckled in mustard, tan, and white, each one uniquely patterned. Ruffled edges and subtle lacing give the blooms added depth, especially when planted in groups.
A reliable spring bloomer: This variety starts flowering in the early to mid part of iris season, making it one of the first to bring height and interest to spring beds. It stands tall on strong, upright stems and produces multiple blooms on well-branched stalks. The flowers carry a light, pleasant fragrance—not overpowering, just enough to notice on a calm morning.
Low effort, high payoff: Tiger Honey is as tough as it is beautiful. Once established, it handles ordinary garden conditions with ease. It’s a strong grower and a conversation piece that fits easily into sunny borders, iris collections, or anywhere bold spring color is welcome.
