Bearded Iris 'Spanish Leather'

A smouldering blend of copper, cinnamon and golden bronze.

‘Spanish Leather’ is a sultry mid-season Bearded Iris that steals the spotlight with its deep terracotta standards, russet-orange falls, and burnt amber beards. With ruffled petals and a velvety finish, it evokes autumn tones and warm Mediterranean sunsets — earthy, elegant, and unforgettable.

This is a strong grower, ideal for adding depth and richness to perennial borders, or for those who crave something a little different from the typical pastels. Grown with care at Oasis Cottage and offered in very limited numbers.
