'GRAND CHIEF' German Bearded Iris (Iris germanica x 'grand chief')

Here's a dazzling German iris with gorgeous form and striking hues. A proven performer for more than 70 years, 'Grand Chief's' elegantly ruffled, bi-tone blooms emerge on 33" stalks from mid to late-spring, so the plant is just the right size for mid-border use. The lower petals are a burgundy-brown, coppery color and sharply contrast with the orange-yellow standards. Puts on an extremely impressive show when planted in large groups and is excellent for using in fresh-cut spring bouquets. Like other irises, deer and rabbits tend not to eat this variety.
