LOCAL COLOR - Tall Bearded Iris - Multiple Award Winner Keppel 1996 Honorable Mention 1998 Award of Merit 2000 Wister Medal 2002 This extraordinary dark violet black bitone displays a stunning color combination. The luxurious rich violet of the arched and domed standards is repeated as a narrow band on the blackish red falls. Bright tangerine beards provide spectacular contrast. Grows to 40" inches tall and blooms mid season.
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.
