Gorgeous depth of color in rosy mauve with darker veination set off with bright coral beards. Wonderful, it's been my favorite IB in my garden for the last 4 years. Great growth, flower form, and plant vigor. This one deserves top AIS honors.

MISS MAUVE: (Richard Tasco, R. 2000). Sdlg. 95-IB-04-08. IB 23" (58 cm) M. "S. mauve, violet midrib flush; style arms coral pink; F. mauve, overall darker venation; beards coral pink, lighter at end; flared. Spring Tidings X Chanted., Superstition 2000." This description was copied from the AIS Check List Data Base. If you want a unique iris color this one will surprise. Very rapid growth, super bloom habits and very pretty by itself or planted with other irises. A second-year clump yielded an incredible ten stems!
