Iris ‘Almost Dark’ (Early to Mid-Season Tall Bearded Iris)
Rich, velvety, and wonderfully dramatic, Iris ‘Almost Dark’ is a stunning Tall Bearded Iris that brings bold colour and sophistication to the spring garden. Flowering from early to mid-season, this striking variety is prized for its deep, saturated tones and elegant, monochromatic beauty.
The blooms feature luxurious rich violet standards paired with matching velvety violet falls, creating a seamless display of intense jewel-toned colour. The effect is both dramatic and refined, with the deeply coloured petals catching the light to reveal subtle texture and depth. Completing the look are violet beards that blend effortlessly into the blooms, enhancing the iris's rich, uniform appearance.

The Iris flowering period has the potential to begin late August and extend into late / early December. To ensure optimal plant health, orders are not dispatched until flowering has concluded, allowing the rhizomes adequate time to regenerate. We anticipate lifting and preparing orders from early February subject to weather conditions. If you live in a hot dry climate, we recommend not receiving your order until March. All rhizomes are professionally trimmed, washed, sanitised and air dried to ensure they are delivered in premium condition. For best establishment, the recommended planting period is February through April.
