From AIS Bulletin #273 April 1989 Introducing DIXIE CLASSIC-TB Dixie Classic blooms late in the tall bearded season but retains a pleasing coloration in the high temperatures of Dixie spring. When full blossoms open, the standards are 163B, golden brown, atop 174B reddish brown falls. The lovely falls lighten to (163A) yellow brown but retain their substance well. The orange beard (24A) is surrounded by brown hafts. This iris retains its freshness and color better than similar ones in the garden and lengthens the TB season. (40-24). $30.00. Burch Iris Garden.
