Miniature Bearded Iris

Iris 'Topsy Turvey' has stunning deep yellow-orange standards and orange beards contrasting with its white falls. This is a miniature tall bearded iris that stands 18 inches tall and blooms in mid to late season. In 1965 Topsy Turvey was awarded Honorable Mention by the American Iris Society. It is an excellent cut flower and is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while resistant to rabbits and deer. The classic Fleur de Lys, which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history, is an adaptation of the iris flower.
