Iris ‘Diabolique’


Tall Bearded Iris

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.287.410


Tall Bearded Iris are the giants of the late spring border, available in a rainbow of colours that blend to suit every colour scheme. Plants form a clump of green sword-shaped leaves, bearing upright stems with very large blooms. This selection has large flowers in a velvety wine-purple shade with heavily ruffled petals. Voted among the Top 100 best by the American Iris Society. Iris are heavy feeders, so plan to fertilize in early spring, and again in late summer. Plants should be divided every 3 to 4 years, in August. Be on the watch for Iris borer. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
