This vigorous iris awakens the garden with vibrant two-toned blooms of striking elegance. Glaucous sword-shaped leaves provide the perfect verdant backdrop for each of the ruffled flowers, which reveal delicately etched ivory falls, dramatically contrasted by deep rose standards in rich wine shades. Fuchsia veining adorns the fall edges in watercolour fashion, and golden beards add a final flourish, lending more than a hint of citrus. Tough yet tantalising, ‘Benton Diedre’ will return to glamorize your borders and cut flower vases year after year.
