Iris 'Noticeable'

Noticeable Iris

Iris 'Noticeable' is a tall bearded iris with beautifully ruffled flowers that bloom in early midseason. The standards open a clear blue, deepening toward violet-blue along the central ribs, while the falls are rosy pink with broad white centers that brighten the flower considerably. Tangerine beards provide a warm accent against the cooler blue, pink, and white petals. Upright, sword-shaped green foliage forms neat fans beneath the flowering stems.

Design tip

Use 'Noticeable' where several flower colors need to be visually connected. Its blue standards can echo nearby cool tones while the rosy falls relate to pinks and mauves, allowing the iris to act as a natural transition within a layered border.
