Iris 'Kissed by the Sun' has white standards and rich daffodil yellow falls that are often first tinged green.
‘Kissed by the Sun’ is a lovely and cheerful ruffled cultivar with white standards and rich daffodil yellow falls that often have a greenish yellow tone when they first emerge. Blooms in the mid to late season. 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.
