Tall Bearded Iris 'Supreme Sultan', Iris Germanica 'Supreme Sultan', Late Midseason Irises
Voted the best bicolor iris in 2007, award-winning Iris ‘Supreme Sultan’ is outrageously beautiful with its ruffled, vibrant orange standards contrasting with rich mahogany falls. Fragrant, the flowers of this elegant Iris are quite large and can’t be missed, 6-8 in. wide (15-20 cm)! A vigorous grower, this Tall Bearded Iris rises to 39 inches high (97 cm) atop the lovely sword-shaped foliage that 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.
