Iris chrysographes 'Black Form'
Iris chrysographes 'Black Form' is an elegant and dramatic perennial, admired for its striking, near-black flowers. The deep velvety blooms, with their dark purple-black petals, often feature delicate golden markings near the centre, adding a touch of mystery and sophistication to the garden. These eye-catching flowers appear in late spring to early summer, bringing bold colour to borders.
Reaching a height of approximately 60 to 90 cm, Iris chrysographes 'Black Form' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, making it particularly well-suited to damp or boggy areas of the garden, such as near ponds or streams.
This low-maintenance plant is perfect for adding a dramatic focal point to cottage gardens, borders, or naturalistic planting schemes. Its unusual, almost-black blooms make it a standout choice for gardeners looking to introduce a sense of depth and intrigue to their planting, while still attracting pollinators like bees.
