Iris 'Easter Charm'

Easter Charm Iris

Iris 'Easter Charm' is a tall bearded iris with softly ruffled flowers that open in early midseason. Pale blue standards are delicately edged with yellow-green, giving the upper petals a fresh springlike appearance. Creamy white falls carry touches of soft yellow along the shoulders and portions of the edges, while white beards tipped in yellow brighten the center of each bloom. Upright, sword-shaped green foliage forms tidy fans beneath the flowering stems.

Design tip

Use 'Easter Charm' to lighten areas dominated by stronger spring colors. Its pale blue, cream, and yellow flowers provide a gentle visual break between richer purples or pinks, while repeated clumps can carry that softer palette naturally through a sunny border.
