The color of the standards – magenta blending to a dark rose color – is so striking that Ravishing Ruby is one of our garden visitor’s favorite irises!  The falls are maroon with a blue cast, and beards are an intriguing dark mustard tipped brown.  Ravishing Ruby stands 36”, is an early bloomer, and has a sweet fragrance.
