Light Beam Bearded Iris |
Description
This bright-colored Iris can grow up to 40" tall and does best in full sun or light shade. The standards (upper petals) are bright lemon yellow while the falls (lower petals) are white with edges of the same lemon yellow. This variety will bloom in spring and then again in the summer or perhaps even in the fall. It looks great with Euphorbias or Anigozanthus.
