Iris 'Purple Flame'

Iris 'Purple Flame' is a unique and eye-catching bearded iris, prized for both its vibrant foliage and stunning blooms. Emerging in early spring, its sword-like leaves are flushed with deep purple—a rare and striking feature that gives this variety its name. As the season progresses, tall flower stalks rise to reveal elegant, lavender-purple blooms with ruffled petals and a soft fragrance, typically flowering in late spring to early summer. To grow Iris 'Purple Flame' successfully, plant the rhizomes in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent rot. Position the rhizomes just at or slightly below the soil surface. Water moderately during the growing season, but avoid overwatering. After blooming, remove spent flower stalks to encourage tidy growth. Divide clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigor. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, 'Purple Flame' offers both early-season color and an architectural accent in any perennial garden. Arrives to you in a #1 pot.
