Product Description

This outstanding variety delivers all the warm hues of a Brooklyn brownstone in autumn, but at a surprising time of year—early spring. It's not your usual spring palette, so it'll easily set your garden apart. Plus, these warm tones really warm up the look of a sunny day in the garden. Paprika is a reblooming iris variety, so no matter if you create a mass planting, or surround it with other iris varieties, you'll have an extra-long iris season to look forward to.
