Iris germanica - Play with Fire

Iris germanica ‘Play with Fire’ is an award-winning tall bearded iris prized for its richly saturated crimson-red flowers and bold garden presence. The large blooms feature heavy ruffling and matching red beards, creating a full, luxurious appearance on sturdy stems that reach approximately 90 cm (36 in.) tall. Blooming in midseason, this vigorous perennial rises above attractive blue-green, sword-shaped foliage and makes an excellent choice for sunny borders and cut flower arrangements. Introduced by Schreiner’s in 1987, ‘Play With Fire’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soil.
