Iris germanica 'Howard Weed'
Iris germanica 'Howard Weed' is a striking tall bearded iris known for its dramatic two-tone blooms. The ruffled apricot-orange standards contrast beautifully with rich burgundy-purple falls highlighted by golden veining and a vivid orange beard, creating a bold and exotic effect in the border.
Flowering in late spring, this hardy perennial produces large blooms above upright fans of sword-like grey-green foliage. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil where the rhizomes sit close to the soil surface, becoming drought tolerant once established.
