Iris 'Mango Entrée'

Mango Entrée Iris

Iris 'Mango Entrée' is a tall bearded iris with broad, heavily ruffled flowers that bloom in midseason. The standards and falls share a warm honey-apricot coloring, giving the blossoms a beautifully unified appearance. Subtle veining adds definition to the falls near the center, while prominent tangerine-orange beards intensify the warm coloring. The softly rippled petals give the flowers fullness and movement without obscuring their simple color pattern.

Design tip

Use 'Mango Entrée' to soften transitions between yellow and deeper orange flowers rather than treating it as a separate accent. Its honey-apricot coloring creates a natural bridge between these warmer shades, while nearby blue or violet flowers provide a cooler counterpoint.
