Iris ‘Purple Flame’. Discovered by a staff gardener along a pond edge at Mt. Cuba’s gardens. Plant along the water's edge, where roots receive consistent moisture to achieve best early season color before foliage slowly transition to green.
The true beauty lies in the irresistible foliage. Emerging in March, the purple flame-like foliage provides an unparalleled performance of vivid and intense eggplant purple foliage followed by an encore of rich and abundant flowers.
Grows 36" tall - Blooms Early Summer.
