BLACK LIGHTNING (2009) 14.5" A gorgeous and hardy ruffled black iris with a contrasting violet beard. It has four flowers per stalk and remains in bloom for a long time. It has put up extra flower stalks in July, like its pod parent Ruby Eruption, but not enough for me to be sure it will rebloom regularly. Some more southerly growers will need to try this and let us know if it is a rebloomer. A far better grower then other black SDB that have been tried here. Quickly forms clumps. It appears to have four plicata genes, is spite of it’s solid black colour. Slightly sweet fragrance............................................... SOLD OUT $8.00
