Grape Snakez Bearded Iris
This award-winning iris produces a flourish of broken colour. The 12 cm blooms, which open on 95 cm stems, feature upright, tannish standards streaked in silvery white and flecked with amethyst. The rich purple falls display creamy white splashes and support dark gold beards. Blooms are ruffled and release a subtle scent, making it an excellent iris for cutting.
