Tall Bearded Iris
Iris 'Rave On' is a vibrant orange with bright orange beards, creamy white signals and ruffled petals. It stands 36 inches high and blooms in mid to late season. This is a tall bearded iris which typically blooms after the dwarf irises but before the Japanese and Siberian Irises. It is an excellent cut flower and is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while resistant to rabbits and deer. Iris is the name of the Greek goddess of the rainbow. The classic 'Fleur de Lys' which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history is an adaptation of the iris flower.
