INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1987 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Aristocratic in poise and stature, this huge light medium blue self will rule your garden from atop its strong 38” stems. The noble classically formed and ruffled petals have excellent substance. The standards are closed and the falls flare ever so slightly. 8 to 9 buds on two branches and a spur.
