INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1986 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Intense black shades with red undertones evoke a dramatic depth of feeling. These rich dark tintes belie some imprisoned passion of warm hidden fires. Unbelievable velvety sheen! Nicely branched stem habit with a good bud count of 9 to 12 per stem.
