Iris ‘Glanusk’ (Sib)
Description:
‘Glanusk’, raised in 1990, is one of around 25 Siberian iris bred by Harry Foster of Crickhowell, Wales, between 1986 and 1992. It was awarded an AGM in 1996. One Guardian describes it as "a good garden plant here on a rocky hillside in Northumberland, flowering I think every year which is unusual in my garden as other varieties of iris fail to produce flowers at all. The flower is large for its type, the colour is intense and the marking rather striking."
