From Clevenger's Iris Gardens pamphlet, 1946: THE CHIEFTAIN - This Iris is one of those flowers that appear as though starched. It has a lovely appearance in the garden, having a regal carriage. The color is copper-red with a lot of copper. There is a striking blue feather marking just below the haft which is very attractive and adds greatly to the beauty of the flower. The beard is orange, standards closed and falls slightly flaring. It is of average size but it is a very striking addition to the red-copper class. Substance excellent. Good grower and a fine parent plant. Even though it is 40 inches tall it does not require staking. The branching is very good. Comes from a Dauntless X Evolution Cross. Price $10.00 per rhizome. Late.
