Iris 'Action Front'
Iris 'Action Front' is a striking cultivar of bearded iris, renowned for its bold colouration and robust growth habit. This tall bearded iris typically reaches heights of 85-90 cm, making it an impressive addition to the middle or back of perennial borders. The plant features the characteristic sword-like foliage of irises, providing architectural interest even when not in bloom.
The flowers of 'Action Front' are truly spectacular, boasting a unique colour combination that demands attention in the garden. The falls (lower petals) are a rich, deep coppery orange, while the standards (upper petals) display a contrasting bronze-gold hue. This dramatic bicolour effect is further enhanced by the beard, which is a vibrant orange-red, adding an extra pop of colour to each bloom.
Flowering in late spring to early summer, Iris 'Action Front' prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It's drought-tolerant once established and makes an excellent cut flower. This iris is a perfect choice for gardeners seeking a bold, eye-catching perennial with low maintenance requirements.
