Full Description

TB 42″
From Robert Wayman’s ‘Rare Iris and Peonies Catalog’ 1940
AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND where this variety originated. The cooris the richest red purple imaginable and the falls are very velvety. The flowers are large and of fine form and heavy substance. One of the striking features of this variety is its profuse branching, one stalk producing  six to eight branches, creating anunusual candelabra effect, with a correspondingly large number of flowers out together.”
