Velvet Ballerina

Velvet Ballerina (Schreiner, 2001) is a commanding tall bearded iris that stands at 40" (107 cm), blooming midseason with a gallery-worthy presence. Its luminous lavender-white standards and style arms (RHS 92D) create a vivid contrast against the rich, violet-purple falls (79A), which are adorned with intricate veined haft patterning. The bold tangerine beards add a dynamic pop of color, making this iris a true landscape centerpiece. With its painterly color play and sculptural form, Velvet Ballerina is a memorable addition to any collector’s garden. Parentage unknown. Introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 2001. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Veining
