Iris ‘Chance Beauty’ stands a towering 54” high. Each stem has 3 to 4 branches with 12 or more large bright yellow flowers on each stem. The yellow falls are highlighted by a cinnamon brown eyelash pattern around the signal radiating out toward the edge of the petal. This is a peusadata iris, a cross between a Japanese iris (Iris ensata) and Iris psedacorus. These hybrids have introduced the color yellow into the form of a Japanese iris. Typically they have branched stems with multiple buds on each stem. Pseudadata irises thrive in or near water but also do well in garden conditions. They are attractive to hummingbirds while resistant to deer. They are vigorous growers but they are sterile and will not spread in waterways. In 1998 Chance Beauty received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
