I. Pallida Dalmatica

I. Pallida Dalmatica (Jean Baptiste Lamarck, 1789) is a legendary tall bearded iris from southeastern Europe, celebrated for its commanding presence and refined beauty. This midseason bloomer features medium blue, self-colored standards and falls, with hues ranging from deep blue-purple to soft lavender-blue, creating a luminous, painterly effect in the garden. Noteworthy for its wholly dry, silvery bracts at flowering—an unmistakable hallmark of the species—I. Pallida Dalmatica also boasts a white beard tipped with yellow or orange, adding a vibrant accent to each bloom. With robust stems reaching up to 72" (200 cm), this heritage-quality iris is a garden-showpiece and a collector’s favorite, offering both pedigree and visual impact. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
