Dutch Iris Sapphire Beauty

Deep Sapphire Blue Blooms That Steal the Late-Spring Show

Sapphire Beauty is our best blue Dutch iris. Each flower opens in rich blue, accented with softer blue falls and a bright pop of yellow on every perfectly formed petal. Blooms rise 20-24 inches on slender, straight stems, so they read clearly from across the yard and stand tall in a vase.

Plant them in full sun to partly shaded borders, mixed cutting gardens, or seasonal landscape features. They are easy, adaptable bulbs with a robust growing habit, and they slip neatly between perennials that wake up later in the season. They also do well in large patio containers if you want blue color close to the door.

Why You'll Love the Dutch Iris Sapphire Beauty

• Rich blue petals with soft blue accents and a bright yellow signal on each bloom
• Long, straight 20-24 inch stems that are made for cutting gardens and bouquets
• Blooms late spring into early summer, filling the gap between tulips and summer perennials
• Slim 3-4 inch footprint, so you can tuck dozens into existing beds or containers
• Hardy in zones 5-9 and happy in full sun or part shade

Plant them generously and in groups, because a mass of Sapphire Beauty is what makes the display unforgettable.
