Iris germanica Beverly Sills forms a clump of broad upright sword leaves from thick shallow rhizomes.
Strong branched stalks carry numerous large, ruffled and laced coral-to-flamingo-pink flowers with vivid tangerine-orange beards.
The Hager introduction won the 1985 American Dykes Medal and may rebloom in favorable climates.
Plant the rhizomes partly exposed in full sun and freely drained soil, then divide overcrowded clumps after flowering.
