Puzzling Identity-(Jim Hedgecock-2026)-NoveltyBorder Bearded Iris-26 Inches Tall-Early Medium Bloom Season-The puzzle comes with the fact that this iris is a finiky grower. In most years, it grows with no problems, but once in a while, it takes a rest and and does not bloom heavily. I have wrestled with the introduction for several years. Everyone that sees it wants it. So I bow to the pressure. The florets are dark maroon and heavily streaked yellow and white. Beards are burnt brown.
