Tall Bearded Iris 'Battle Royal' (Iris)

Tall Bearded Iris 'Battle Royal': Deep Purple Majesty

Tall Bearded Iris 'Battle Royal' is a striking cultivar hybridized by Ghio and introduced in 1993. It features deep, velvety purple standards and falls with a slightly lighter beard. The flowers are large, well-branched, and borne on strong 36-40 inch stems in late spring. The sword-like, gray-green foliage forms a handsome fan.

Modern Iris Excellence

Plant rhizomes in late summer in full sun, well-drained soil, with the top exposed. Divide every 3-4 years. 'Battle Royal' represents modern breeding for color intensity, form, and garden vigor. The deep purple is commanding in the late spring border. A superb choice for iris enthusiasts and perennial borders.
