iris 'Tigereye'

An upright growing, deciduous, bulbous, perennial iris, growing to approximately 50cm (20in) high and having a spread of 45cm (18in). After the bulb has produced its foliage, flowered and completed its growth cycle, the foliage yellows and dies back in early summer. It has pointed strap-shaped, light green leaves and in spring produces several flowers per stem, with three narrow standards in deep purple and three broad, bronze-purple falls with darker veination, each with a brilliant yellow eye. It can be used in spring bedding schemes and in wildflower areas where it can be left to naturalise
