Between Dreams

For lovers of dark, dramatic blooms, Between Dreams is a masterclass in moody elegance.
Its deeply saturated colour palette — rich violet standards and velvety black falls — creates a powerful garden presence. The dark purple beard adds intensity, drawing the eye even from a distance. Between Dreams makes a bold statement whether used sparingly as a feature or rhythmically repeated through predominantly dark green and lime garden beds for maximum impact.  This is an iris for those who lean into contrast, texture, and atmosphere — a living shadow that elevates everything around it.
