Iris germanica ‘Sable’ brings intensity and dramatic color to any setting. With blackish-purple falls, royal purple standards, and orange-tipped purple beards, this bearded iris brings depth and moodiness to gardens in late spring/early summer. With strong bloom stalks, the large, purple flowers can reach up to 36 inches tall.

This iris attracts bees and gardeners with a dramatic flare. Iris germanica ‘Sable’ wants full sun and well-draining soil. Plant in masses in front of light or lime green foliage to have the most impact! The rhizomes should be planted so they are visible at soil level and should not be covered with mulch.
