Product Description

The bicolor on this iris makes it look lit from within. The cooling blue color matches well with many different floral colors in the border, and the luminous effect makes City Lights stand out as a feature. Also, City Lights is a reblooming iris variety, so no matter if you create a mass planting, or surround it with other reblooming iris varieties, you'll have an extra-long iris season to look forward to.
