One of the most awarded irises of all time. Winner of the prestigious American Dykes Medal—Queen’s Circle has rightfully earned her crown as a garden great. With honours bestowed b y the highest authorities in the iris world, this is not just a plant—it’s a piece of living horticultural history. Her looks are as distinguished as her accolades: crisp white standards rise above ruffled falls edged in delicate violet-blue, as if carefully traced by an artist’s brush. A soft lemon beard glows at the centre—subtle, refined, and full of charm. Graceful, dependable, and endlessly admired, Queen’s Circle deserves a position of prominence. Plant her where the morning light can catch her edges—and prepare for compliments.
