    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    At Wave Hill, the legendary Marco Polo championed hundreds of little-known but fabulous flowers, including this classic iris. Just two feet tall, it melds happily into perennial gardens where its luminous, pale gold standards over a lacework of raisin-purple give it a regal presence. Tough and floriferous, zones 3-8aS/10WC, from Ann Arbor.
