This standard dwarf bearded (SDB) iris is very difficult to describe…you really need to look at the picture or better yet see it in person. It is lavender, cream and tan or straw colored all kind of blended together with very dark purple shooting up from the base. The sky blue beards top it off with a stunning yet calming result. At 12 plus inches, she is tall for a SDB. With a wide flat form, the standards form a ball, while the falls don’t fall, they are held straight out to the side.
