If you liked "Badlands" and "Black Suited", you will no-doubt also be attracted to their slightly lighter-coloured but taller offspring, with its violet-leaning-towards-black standards of glistening satin.

Flowering:Mid-season to late

PRINCESSE C. DE MONACO

€6.00

This is the result of the search for perfection in blue-red bearded irises. It is a pure light blue with orange-red beards.
