INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1965 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Tuxedo is the latest advance in the Schreiner darks. Please note both the incredible depth and richness of color and the phenomenal breadth of petals. It is a very velvety, solid blue-black of exceptional size with and extra fine stem and extremely fine branching. The nap, or sheen, lends a note of vibrant richness.
