Iris TB ‘Discovered Treasure’

Iris 'Discovered Treasure' has ruffled buff pink standards and rich orchid-violet falls with tangerine beards.

‘Discovered Treasure’ has ruffled buff pink standards with lavender flushing at the base and rich orchid-violet falls with tangerine beards surrounded by a lighter pink glow. Blooms in the mid season with up to seven buds per stem. Tall Bearded (TB) irises, previously known as Iris germanica, have greyish strap-like, pointed leaves from fleshy rhizomes and tall stems of gorgeous, often fragrant, flowers that come in every colour of the rainbow. Divide every two to three years (or when clumps become congested and flowering decreases) just after blooming. Trim the foliage back to a third and plant the rhizomes at or just below soil level. Deer and rabbit resistant.
