‘No-We-Ta’ is a captivating Tall Bearded Iris, a variety that is admired for its unique coloration and striking presence in the garden. It’s a flower that combines a sense of classic beauty with a touch of modern flair.
‘No-We-Ta’ often displays standards (the upright petals) in a warm, creamy white or a light, almost buttery yellow. This provides a beautiful and luminous backdrop for the falls (the lower petals). The falls are often a rich and contrasting color, such as a deep purple, a vibrant burgundy, or a rich, dark red. The combination of the light standards and the dark, richly colored falls creates a visually stunning and memorable display.
Adding to the allure of ‘No-We-Ta’ is the beard, the fuzzy growth on the falls. The beard is often a contrasting color, such as a bright gold or a bold orange, further enhancing the flower’s dramatic presence. The combination of the light standards, the dark falls, and the brightly colored beard gives ‘No-We-Ta’ a truly regal and eye-catching appearance.
Tall Bearded Irises like ‘No-We-Ta’ typically stand between 36 and 48 inches tall (90-120 cm), making them a striking presence in the garden border. They are ideal for adding vertical interest and a touch of bold color to any landscape. With its unique coloration, often ruffled form, and prominent beard, ‘No-We-Ta’ truly earns its place as a standout among irises, bringing a sense of dignified beauty and modern appeal to the garden.
