Iris 'Undercurrent' is a stunning tall bearded iris with vanilla standards, apricot yellow falls and fiery red beards. There is a gray purplish wash extending inward from the edges of the falls. It stands 42 inches high, blooming in mid to late season with a mild sweet fragrance. In 2006 Undercurrent was awarded Honorable Mention by the American Iris Society and in 2008 it received the Award of Merit. It is an excellent cut flower and is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while resistant to rabbits and deer. The classic 'Fleur de Lys' which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history is an adaptation of the iris flower.
