Iris 'Coffee Trader' | Coffee Trader Iris

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Iris 'Coffee Trader' produces ruffled flowers in blended coffee, caramel, and silvery blue tones, blooming in late spring and bringing layered color to the garden. Upright, sword-like leaves are blue-green and form clean fans that provide a strong vertical framework through the season. The flowers rise above the foliage on sturdy stems, with warm coffee-toned standards, falls in soft lavender-blue tones, and an orange beard running down the center of each fall, adding texture and depth during bloom.

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