The star of the late season! Just as most irises are wrapping it up, this beauty sends up tall, vigorous stalks filled with buds. Huge, ruffled blooms have soft rose-pink standards and rich lilac-pink frills. Shipped all year.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
