Autumn Shower has a unique plicata pattern for cool season reblooming tall bearded iris. This rebloomer (Lockatell TB Re Sdlg.#20526) features the best flowering characteristics from the late Dr. Lloyd Zurbrigg and Joe Ghio breeding lines. (TB Northward Ho (Zurbrigg, 1991) X TB Re Double Vision (Ghio, 1999) Double Vision contributed modern flower form and color patterning and Northward Ho chipped in with reliable cool season rebloom.
Autumn Shower is a solid grower and nice companion to yellow and red cool season tall bearded rebloomers in the fall garden. After successful trials in Maryland and Pennsylvania, the decision was made to register and release this eye catching beauty. Flowers are unaffected by lower bloomstalk height for the tall bearded classification. Garden presence however has always been Autumn Shower's best quality. If you are a plicata fan, here is a nice coloring to see twice in the same growing season.
