Beautiful Beards

The goddess of the rainbow returns!

‘Beverly Sills’ introduced back in 1979, this lovely iris is still one of the best pinks. It is easy to see why the flowers are so beloved. Not only are the flowers perfectly pink, large, and ruffled, this is also one of the most vigorous, heavy flower varieties on the market. It is fitting that this beautiful plant is named for one of the most famous opera singers of all time!

‘Main Street’ can you get anything better than the striking contrast between those dark falls and the bright white standards? Often dark flower colours don’t show up well in the garden, but this combination in the same flower ensures it will always get noticed. And lean closer… this variety is noted for its strong fragrance as well!

‘Silk Road’ is well named for its exotic looking beauty. A very unusual combination of soft yellow and many shades of lavender. This award-winning variety is a true treasure.

‘Mr. Moonlight’ White flowers are sometimes overlooked by gardeners, but their impact in the garden is incredible. They feel cool on a hot afternoon, the provide great contrast to darker flowers, and for those of us who enjoy our gardens in the evenings after work, white is perfect because it glows in even the faintest light of the moon.

‘Sea Cruise’ Blue and white are a classic combination in iris flowers, called the ‘neglecta’ pattern. Cool, elegant, and ever so sophisticated. This is the sort of flower that will go with anything – pair with other blues and whites for a calm garden, or mix in some hot oranges and reds for a bold contrast.
