Iris ‘Semiramis’


David Root - Kelways

This is Iris ‘Semiramis’, it’s a beautiful, smoky yellow just with a hint of chartreuse in the petals as the flower opens. The great thing about this is that it’s bred in the UK, so it’s perfect for our often damp and wet English summers. The petals are really, really robust and also the stems are very thick and strong so it will never need staking. It’s a perfect Iris for the garden.
