Tall Bearded Iris 'Indigo Princess', Iris Germanica 'Indigo Princess', Mid-Late Season Irises
Sweetly scented, multiple award-winning Iris ‘Indigo Princess’ is a magnificent Tall Bearded Iris with copiously ruffled flowers of the deepest violet, which nicely contrast with their yellow beards delicately tipped blue. As compellingly attractive as royalty, this late midseason bloomer commands attention with its huge blossoms, up to 6 in. (15 cm), held high on sturdy stems. They rise with majesty up to 39 inches high (98 cm) atop a lovely sword-shaped foliage which will continue to add interest to the landscape after flowering is over.
Bearded irises are classified by height and flower size into 6 groups. Since these groups bloom at slightly different times, combining specimens from different groups will extend your color display for a couple of weeks.
