IRIS 'Quechee'

Description

Iris 'Quechee'

Height x Spread:  90cm x 50cm

Bang on trend for rusty red and brown Iris, 'Quechee' offers a rich flower colour combination of mahogany falls each highlighted with golden yellow beard, twinned with slightly paler upright ruffled standards.  Its nectar rich flowers smell delicious too with a scent of chocolate orange.    

Flowering from May to June, plant it in drifts through a sunny gravel or cottage garden, where it will look stunning combined with other jewel colours such as oranges, yellows, blues and pale pinks.  Once the flowers fade, the bold sword-like foliage remains into the autumn adding useful structure and leaf contrast for other plants.  Like many Bearded Iris it thrives in a very sunny spot in free draining soil.
