Red Kite
Red Kite is one of our Classic Red Bearded Irises, a deep intense ‘wine coloured red’, appreciably darker than the popular ‘Red Pike’, and deeper still than Henry Sidgwick. Real lustrous ‘Velvet’ texture to flowers with characteristic branching. A stunning distinctive plant that goes well with other strong colours. Named after the Raptor which was making a comeback to the UK in the 1990’s after many years absence.
My father always said the ‘reds’ were the most difficult colours to hybridise. This is one of his best and a great addition to the colour range on offer.
Red Kite works well as a stand alone plant when planted in a group or in blocks; brilliant planted with other hot colours, orange and magenta, and striking when planted with pinks. This is a highly versatile iris.
Bred by Bryan Dodsworth Height 38” (97cm). Red/wine. Bronze beards. Registered 1993.
