Full Description

TB 38″ M

From Melrose Gardens catalog for 1980: “This one came along just in time for our twenty-fifth catalog with its blue-silver standards and clean white falls. It is a grand celebration of the endurance engendered in any success this business has achieved. Whereas, we are impressed by that statement, you will be impressed by the quality of the iris; architecturally sound form with that classical look plus fanciful ruffling and lacing. Plant, branching stem and bud count can also be depended upon.
