Iris 'Bold Print'
Iris 'Bold Print' is a stunning tall bearded iris cultivar that truly lives up to its name with its dramatically patterned blooms. This robust perennial typically reaches a height of 90-100 cm, making it an excellent choice for the middle or back of borders. The sword-like, blue-green foliage provides an attractive vertical accent even when the plant is not in bloom.
The flowers of 'Bold Print' are truly spectacular, featuring large, ruffled petals with a unique and eye-catching colour pattern. Both the standards (upright petals) and falls (lower petals) are primarily white, with striking dark blue edges creating a bold, printed effect. This crisp contrast between the white centre and blue margins gives the impression of each petal being outlined, resulting in a flower that demands attention in the garden.
Flowering in late spring to early summer, Iris 'Bold Print' prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It's drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators to the garden. This iris makes an excellent cut flower and is sure to be a standout in any iris collection or mixed perennial border.
