Iris ‘Winged Angel’ is a stunning Intermediate Bearded (IB) variety that brings a touch of grace and elegance to any garden. Known for its soft, angelic appearance, this iris features large, ruffled petals in a delicate blend of white, pale lavender, and light pink. The standards are typically soft white or cream, while the falls display a harmonious mix of lavender and pink, often enhanced by subtle veining that adds depth. The bright yellow beards contrast beautifully with the cool-toned petals, providing a striking focal point and elevating its overall delicate charm.
Reaching a height of around 18 to 30 inches, ‘Winged Angel’ is perfect for smaller garden spaces or borders where it can stand out without overwhelming other plantings. It blooms in mid-to-late spring, offering a serene and elegant presence that is ideal for perennial beds or even containers. Like other bearded irises, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance—just occasional division to keep it healthy and productive. Once established, it is also drought-tolerant, making it a hardy and reliable addition to your garden.
With its gentle, pastel colors and compact form, ‘Winged Angel’ adds a touch of sophistication and tranquility to any landscape, making it a favorite among iris enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and ease of care.
