Buckwheat

Buckwheat (Monty Byers, 1988) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its early to midseason late bloom and reliable reblooming habit. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this captivating variety features standards in creamy straw to light yellow with a hint of ecru, while the falls display a medium yellow tone infused with a variable greenish ecru influence and dramatic dark brown lines at the hafts, extending just below the yellow beard. The ruffled form and slight sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. With its pedigree from ‘Spirit Of Memphis’ x ‘Soap Opera’ and introduced by Moonshine Gardens in 1989, Buckwheat is a collector-grade iris that brings a luminous, painterly presence to any landscape.
