About Boston Cream - Bearded Iris
Iris germanica
Seed Type
Rhizome
As if whisked and whipped by hand, Boston Cream Bearded Iris looks good enough to eat! Standing tall and prestigious in the garden, this is a bloom you will not soon forget. Warm white standards with warm white falls, very faint green texture veining, and shoulders lightly shaded in an apricot buff. Deeply ruffled, this elegant lady is a medium height grower that deserves a rightful place in the garden. Consider pairing with other orange or apricot spring bloomers to bring out that wonderful tinge of color found in her throat.
