Grows very well in my garden in zone 7b on sandy soil. Quickly formed a large clump that has bloomed every year since planting. Large blooms beautifully ruffled. Standards with strikingly rich golden yellow color - love it!
Long flowering period because the buds open one after the other.
Grows very well in my garden in Zone 7b on sandy soil. Very long stalks with comparatively small blooms. Tried for two seasons but blooms did not take pollen, never got any pods. Pollen was fertile on other varieties though.
Very vigorous grower for me... first year they were 30" tall... second year I had 3 stalks per plant and they were 37" tall. They bloomed right with my other Middle Late irises. This was a bonus from Schreiner and a very nice addition to my garden.
This Iris was first described in March, 2018. Here is the original description link: https://web.archive.org/web/20... Scroll down to page 22.
This is a unique Reticulata type Iris in that it reproduces via seeds, and via bulbs forming at the end of Stolons. Very rarely it will produce daughter bulbs without stolons. (personal communication with Alan McMurtrie)
This is such a prolific grower in zone 6A for me! This gorgeous iris was hybridized just 40 minutes away in Elwood, Utah. It's one of my Brad Kasparek favorites
If you either grow this hybrid, or know of someone who grows it, then take the time to inspect the golden rim of the standards close up. What's fascinating is how this region is actually comprised of small specks of both yellow and purple pigmentation, which when seen from a distance gives the remarkable illusion of a solid golden edge. Isn't Mother Nature wonderfully, amazingly clever?
From Iris Test Garden Catalog, 1955: ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND. (Miles '46). M. (Typhoon x Lagoon). Exquisite light azure blue that holds its color. The parent of Miles' 1952 introduction Vandabeth. $2.2S.
This is the problem with the Dinnerplate series of Japanese irises. There are two distinctly different irises being sold as "Ice Cream" as shown in our database. Nor are they registered irises under the names Dinnerplate gave them. There has been discussion in the AIS about Ice Cream and the problem of it not always being the same iris.
I really liked Haunted Heart, and its subtle colors were ever-changing here. However I've tried it twice in two different locations and it always under-performed for me. Never got remotely close to the listed height, bloomed low, and after two years both plants (planted in different years = different weather conditions and from different vendors) died off.
