Renowned Batik Iris Collection
Renowned Batik Iris Collection
Turn Your Garden Into an Art Gallery
The results are simply magnificent. Streaks of white embellish the standards and falls of every bloom. Like their namesake, each individual flower seems to have been hand dyed—unique works of art for your borders, beds or cut-flower arrangements.
By ordering our collection, you will be among some of the few home gardeners lucky enough to display these rare, breathtaking blooms.
Breathtaking Additions to Your Borders in Late Spring
Batik irises beautifully fill empty spaces in full sun to partial shade, their swordlike leaves growing in attractive fans. Capable of crowding out weeds, they are often planted en masse or in a thick row, so as to form a lush border. In large gardens, it is not uncommon to see mass plantings in the range of 100 to 150 bearded irises. Since our batik varieties multiply annually, you too will be able to divide them in future years and enjoy such magnificent tapestries of colour.
Nature Imitates Art with Breck's® Renowned Batik Iris Collection
In the ancient art of batik, a skilled craftsman uses a tiny brass needle to drizzle hot liquid wax onto plain white fabric, painstakingly drawing tiny, delicate lines. When his drawing is complete, the fabric is dyed and the wax dissolves. Then the process is repeated with more deep, rich colours until an intricate and breathtaking design is revealed. Truly a treasure.
This collection includes one each of the following varieties:
Plus, as a FREE GIFT, with every collection you order we'll send you free Batik Iris Grace your borders with a true masterpiece. This eye-catching beauty features fluted petals of royal blue, wildly streaked and splattered with white. Recipient of the Knowlton Medal, the American Iris Society's highest honour for border bearded irises. Grows 24" tall.
