The tightly domed standards are yellow blended with pale violet; falls are flaring and red-purple in the center, edged in lighter purple. This dainty iris was named for Mrs. Nellie Stewart, a spry, long time AIS member. Grows to 27 inches tall and blooms early to 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.
