TB 36″ M B7D
From Robert Wayman’s catalog 1940: “This is unquestionably the best of the new dark tones or so-called blacks. It is a very richly and deeply colored iris of perfect form, heavy substance, huge size and a prolific bloomer. The general effect is an intense deep blackish pansy violet and it seems to be cut out of velvet.”
From National Iris Gardens catalog for 1948: “Velvety deep violet flower with a black sheen. Moderate in size, rich in texture.”
From Walter Marx’s Gardens catalog for 1948: “The best cheap black iris. Not quite as dark as Sable but same color. Often blooms again in the fall.”
