Iris ‘Violet Harmony’ is a stunning Tall Bearded Iris that lives up to its name with a beautifully balanced blend of violet and lavender hues. Its gracefully ruffled petals create an elegant and soft appearance, with the standards often displaying a lighter lavender tone while the falls deepen into a rich violet or royal purple. The contrast is enhanced by bright yellow or white beards, adding a touch of warmth and brightness to the bloom. This variety captures the essence of sophistication and serenity, making it a perfect choice for gardeners who love cool-toned floral displays.
Blooming in mid-to-late spring, ‘Violet Harmony’ reaches a height of around 36 inches, making it an excellent focal point in perennial borders, flower beds, or along garden pathways. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional division every few years to encourage continued blooming and plant health. Like other bearded irises, it is drought-tolerant once established and provides long-lasting beauty in the landscape.
With its rich purple tones and graceful ruffled petals, ‘Violet Harmony’ is a must-have for iris enthusiasts and those who appreciate elegant floral displays. Whether planted in mass groupings or combined with contrasting colors like white or yellow, this iris variety adds a sense of balance, depth, and refinement to any garden.
