Iris ‘Dance Recital’ (Mid-Season Tall Bearded Iris)

Elegant and refined, Iris ‘Dance Recital’ performs beautifully in the spring garden with its graceful blend of soft blue tones and striking beard contrast. Blooming during the mid-season, this distinctive Tall Bearded Iris brings a sense of lightness and sophistication to borders, feature plantings, and iris collections.

The blooms open with light violet-blue standards above delicately coloured pale blue falls that gradually fade to an almost white centre as they mature, creating a luminous and ever-changing display. Pale blue style arms complement the cool colouring, while the dramatic grenadine-red beards with white bases provide a bold splash of contrast that draws the eye to the heart of each flower. A light sweet fragrance adds a final touch of charm.

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.
