Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake (Leonard and Kathie Jedlicka, 2011) is a breathtaking Tall Bearded Iris that radiates opulence and artistry in the garden. Its sumptuous brownish-red standards are infused with a dramatic black velvet overlay, while the broad, rounded falls display a tapestry-like richness, enhanced by velvety black sheen and painterly whitish markings on the hafts. The sculptural form is further elevated by glowing red-brown and yellow style arms and beards with gold-tipped red bases, creating a luminous focal point. With thick, ruffled petals, a gentle sweet fragrance, and robust 38-39" stems carrying 7-8 buds per stalk, Red Velvet Cake is a gallery-worthy, collector-grade showpiece that delivers unforgettable early midseason color and texture. A masterful cross of 'Dynamite' x 'Red Rider', this iris is a true statement-maker for any landscape. Attributes: Rebloomer
