About In Living Color - Bearded Iris

Iris germanica

Seed Type Rhizome

Our In Living Color Bearded Iris features a highly ruffled, bright flame of yellow in its standard, creating a beautiful arch. Its plum violet falls exhibit intricate patterns with various colors, complementing the striking burst of yellow. The beards have small gold patches on either side, transitioning into plum, then violet, with a violet/tan band around the margins, creating a truly spectacular bloom.
