Product Description
Rich in lavender hues, this iris pairs beautifully with the pastel colors of the spring garden. Not only in a mixed iris border, but with perennial fall-planted bulbs like hyacinths and tulips in lemon yellow and blush pink, this iris adds some ruffled elegance to the show. And if in favorable conditions, it can sometimes rebloom towards the end of summer. It provides all the things gardeners love about growing German Iris. It's drought tolerant and fast growing once established, provides lovely cut flowers and rarely of any interest to deer. Plus, it won several awards—an Honorable Mention and the Award of Garden Merit. Iris germanica 'Blue Suede Shoes'
