$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Iris 'Code Red' produces richly colored flowers with deep mauve-pink standards and falls, with glowing orange-red beards, blooming in late spring and bringing dramatic color to the garden. Upright, sword-like leaves are blue-green and provide strong vertical structure throughout the growing season. The flowers rise above the foliage on sturdy stems, with gently ruffled petals and saturated tones that create depth and texture during bloom. The vibrant beards add a warm accent that draws the eye to the center of each flower.

Originating through modern hybrid breeding, this cultivar reflects selection focused on intense coloration and refined flower form. It is well suited to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings, where its late spring bloom and architectural foliage provide enduring seasonal interest.
