German Iris Lady Leigh

Lady Leigh is an award-winning variety known for its distinctive color-contrasting blooms. Standards are a pale lilac hue that lightens as blooms mature, accented by buttercup-yellow rims and midribs. The boldly colored falls are oxblood red with royal purple down the middle and more pale lilac on the edges, topped with bright orange-and-yellow beards. Heavily ruffled petals add even more dimension to the fragrant blooms, creating a striking show in borders, perennial beds and cut-flower arrangements. Easy to grow and deer resistant, this elegant iris is also a reliable perennializer that returns year after year with outstanding vigor.
