Supplies may be subject to availability. The sword-like leaves add oft-lacking vertical lines to the garden. The Iris 'Oriental Beauty', 'Iris hollandica', a fall planted bulb, is a bright and airy Dutch iris that resembles a bird in flight. Despite their name, these irises never grew wild in the Netherlands. They are deer, rabbit and squirrel resistant. The Iris plant is great for borders, containers, naturalizing, and cut flowers. The exquisite blue and yellow flowers rest atop sturdy stems. Its unmatched presence is an elegant addition to any garden. Instead, they are the products of hybridization by a Dutch plant breeding firm. * $9.59
