Dutch Iris Eye of the Tiger

Popular for their wide variety of colors and forms, ease of growth, and versatility, Dutch iris make a nice addition to virtually any sunny spot in the landscape. Eye of the Tiger is a unique variety that features rich purple standards, burgundy falls and burnt yellow throats—a very unusual yet elegant color combination in iris. Summertime borders and mixed perennial beds are perfect sites for large groups of these blooms. With their dark coloring and fan-shaped form, they create a distinctly Oriental look in the setting. Easy to grow and maintain, it naturalizes easily and multiplies quickly year after year. A great variety for filling in the landscape in between the spring- and summer-flowering perennials.
