Iris Sibirica ‘Jamaican Velvet’

The Most Magnificent “Red” Iris Ever Grown!

Winner of a 1989 Award of Merit.

These blooms are so intensely colored that they appear to be soaking in light from the setting sun — but that is simply the glow from their rich fuchsia to cranberry markings! Absolutely hands-down the most extraordinary ‘red’ Siberian Iris we have ever grown, Jamaican Velvet is not to be missed in garden or vase.

Introduced by McGarvey in 1983 and winner of the Award of Merit just 6 years later, Jamaican Velvet is the showpiece of many a garden. It is easy to grow, dependable, and utterly showstopping, and we are very proud to give it our highest recommendation. Zones 4-9.
