Iris TB ‘Sunrise Splendor’
Iris ‘Sunrise Splendor' is patterned beautifully with white, gold, and purple.
‘Sunrise Splendor’ is amazing in its colours and its detailing. It has white standards accented with gold at the bases and midribs and in a pencil thin picotee edge. The white background of the falls glow with the same gold around the bright orange beards from which flows royal purple towards the tips and the amber border at the petal edges. Fragrant. Blooms mid season at 35 inches. 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.
