Potsize – 1L

Iris unguicularis ‘Mary Barnard’. The foliage on Mary barnard is altogether more compact, neater and rather more upright, but otherwise suffers the same traits as Iris unguicularis. The flower colour is much more intense than the species. The falls are a wonderful intense purple blue, becoming even deeper sapphire blue towards the centre where the egg-yolk yellow beard is cross hatched by white rays. The standards are stained ruby red in the throat. Very hardy and rewards the Winter gardener with its delightful gems on mild days in february and March. Discovered in Algeria in 1962 by E.B.Anderson.
