Ali's Choice

With its muted, painterly tones and softly ruffled form, Ali’s Choice brings a timeless elegance to the garden.
Reminiscent of the exquisite Benton irises featured in the Gold Medal-winning Sarah Price garden at the 2023 Chelsea Flower Show, this iris offers that same understated refinement — a blend of subtle earth tones, vintage charm, and architectural grace.
Perfect for naturalistic or heritage-inspired planting schemes, Ali’s Choice has a quiet presence that rewards close attention. Let it soften hard edges, mingle with grasses, or evoke the poetry of a walled English garden.
