Shirley Evelyn Hadfield

2025 New Iris

Introducing Shirley Evelyn Hadfield, a highly unusual Salmon-Pink Bearded Iris, exclusive to the English Iris Company.

This new iris is a great addition to our  Award Winning Collection. Firstly this is another top-notch Pink Iris, secondly it complements and extends our existing range of outstanding classy ‘Pinks’. Shirley Evelyn Hadfield is another late flowering variety, ensuring that we can offer a selection of stunning Pink irises throughout the iris flowering season.

Named after Shirley Evelyn Hadfield for a customer as part of our ‘naming’ service.

Special Reserve

This is one of a new batch of 2025 Special Reserve Bearded Irises . Piloted in 2024, they form part of a new ground-breaking initiative to make small quantities of particularly rare or unusual varieties available to the public. Initially we will offer them  at a premium price in small batches (30’s-50’s), first to our Subscribers. Because of their rarity we expect demand to be strong, and we plan to allocate irises on a first come, first served basis.

Building Your Collection

This exceptional Salmon-Pink ‘Self’ has perfect flower shape and classic ‘Dodsworth ‘branching, and is an important addition to our stylish and versatile ‘Softs‘ Collection.

Mixing with other Colours

Our Irises combine clear clean colours, great branching and perfect flower shape to create a ‘Perfect’ Iris.

This Ruffled Salmon-Pink Bearded Iris is great as a standalone plant. However, consider using it with other ‘Hots’, particularly RedPike , Blaeberry Pie , Philippa Hobart and Tynedale that all flower at the same time.

Alternatively, try planting it with some of the taller ‘Cools’, particularly Darley Dale and Wharfedale.

For instance if Pink is your colour, you can always add one of the early flowering flowering ‘Pinks’ Eileen Louise  before finishing with a late season Pink Flourish with Sherwood Pink and Century Pink.

Registered in 2018 on behalf of Bryan Dodsworth. Tall Bearded Iris 35″ (89 cm) tall. Late Bloom; Salmon-Pink Self; Red-Pink Beards, Ruffled . Parentage unknown.
