Iris TB ‘Sea Eagle’

‘Sea Eagle’ is a wonderful cultivar with undulating petals in rich blue with hints of purple. The petal edges are subtly edged in lighter blue which makes the flowers pop. White and pale yellow beards are surrounded with subtle veining. Blooms in the early 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.
