    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Brought in from the wild nearly 200 years ago, this fragrant little iris is a fascinating mix of jewel-like colors that photos can only hint at. “Coppery rose” over “velvety claret” is how Bertrand Farr described it in 1920, while other experts have called it “rosy mauve with metallic sheen” over “red-violet, edged gold-brown.” Early blooming and free flowering, it’s an iris we look forward to every year. 28-32”, zones 3-8aS/10WC, from Ann Arbor.
