Bearded Iris 'Pat Loughran'

A regal, ruffled stunner in saturated royal purple.

‘Pat Loughran’ is a tall, mid-season Bearded Iris with intensely ruffled blooms in deep royal purple, featuring matching dark purple beards that intensify the drama. This variety makes a bold impact in the garden and is stunning in floral arrangements, thanks to its velvety texture and upright form.

Raised in the crisp Canterbury air at Oasis Cottage, these are strong, flowering-sized divisions from mature plants, carefully dug, cleaned, and either potted or bare-rooted for shipping.
