About Bearded Iris Bulbs - Ghost Train

Iris germanica

Seed Type Rhizome
Plant Type Bearded

In a perfect blend of deep purple and black, where it's difficult to tell where one color ends and the other begins, Bearded Iris Bulbs Ghost Train is a standout among black irises. Bouncy ruffles on the black-violet falls and standards brings a playful flair to this moody bloomer. Consider planting with pink flowers to soften and bring lightness to an otherwise sulky, yet stunning, stem.
