Tall Bearded Iris 'Pink Attraction' is a lovely cultivar introduced in 1987 by hybridizer Hall. As its name suggests, it offers a delightful pink presence in the late spring garden, a color always popular among iris enthusiasts.

Soft Pink Beauty

'Pink Attraction' produces large, ruffled flowers in a clear, medium pink self (standards and falls same color). The beard is a slightly deeper pink or coral, adding warmth. The flowers have good substance and a light fragrance. Stems are 34 to 38 inches tall, well-branched, with 7-9 buds, ensuring a long bloom period.

Cultivation Notes
