Christmas Present

Iris ‘Christmas Present’ (Mid to Late Season Tall Bearded Iris)

A gift to the garden just when many spring blooms are beginning to fade, Iris ‘Christmas Present’ delivers an elegant display of soft orchid-blue flowers during the mid to late iris season. Its graceful colouring and charming contrast make it a standout addition to borders, cottage gardens and iris collections.

The blooms are a beautiful orchid-blue self, creating a serene and sophisticated presence in the garden. The falls become lighter through the centre, highlighted by a subtle greenish cast that adds depth and dimension to each flower. Bright tangerine beards provide a vibrant splash of colour, blending to orchid tones at the tips for a uniquely attractive finish.
