Full Description

TB, 32″ (81 cm), Early midseason bloom. Lightly ruffled pure butter yellow with a white flash below butter yellow beard. ‘Newly Rich’ X G 1320-A: (‘Golden Promenade’ x ‘Soft Moonbeam’).

From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1988: “Although not as tall as some varieties, this most brilliant golden yellow’s outstanding qualities more than compensate. Its abundant flowering ability (2 to 3 stems per rhizome) creates a carpet of color which gleams with unmistakable vibrance. Remarkable garden impact.
HM 1985.”
