French Butterfly

French Butterfly (Barry Blyth, 2014) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its gallery-worthy color pattern and refined presence. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this plicata cultivar features luminous white standards and falls, each edged with a dramatic ¾" band of violet stitching that intensifies to black-violet at the margin, finished with a faint lilac wire edge. Old gold beards add a touch of opulence to the overall look. With its pedigree from Brushwork and select seedlings, French Butterfly is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris—an eye magnet and a true centerpiece for any garden. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim
