Tall Bearded Iris 'Victoria Falls'

I've grown Victoria Falls in Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Ohio. In Colorado and Ohio it stays strong and sturdy. In Texas and Georgia t...Read Morehe flower stems fall over in the heat. It's a beautiful deep blue for me and increases and reblooms reliably. If you like a tall deep blue iris, I highly recommend it in the cooler northern states. I like the color and thought it was worth it in Texas in Georgia.

In our region with lots of spring wind there is a snide joke that you can always count on Victoria Falls, it falls. These ultra-tall stal...Read Moreks don't hold up any weight. It makes a wonderful cut flower and looks great on the show bench.
It still gets a lot of attention at the shows even though it has been around for forty years.

This is the most vigorous iris in my garden! So fast growing that I have to divide every couple of years because it overgrows it's allotted space.

I have grown at least 25 varieties of Iris over the past 25 years, and Victoria Falls is one of my favorites. I'd rank it up there with t...Read Morehe top 5.

I haven't had the problem with stem strength another reviewer mentions, though I have had other iris with that problem.

This is a striking shade of medium blue. The white beard and patch underneath it is a beautiful addition. Put it in a bouquet with iris that are a definite purple, and the illusion of true blue will be intensified.

Given proper maintenance, the plants have always been very healthy for us.

A beautiful flower.
