From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1964: HEART OF NIGHT (Terrell '64) 36" Midseason bloom. (Indiglow X Midnight Shadows). Dark starless violet is the overall color of this new iris, but across the hafts and deep into the heart the shades of night settle down into the distinct velvety blackness which is the unique feature of this iris, even the beard is a dark, dark violet. Well branched stems carry classically formed flowers with standards closed and domed and falls semi-flaring and wide; both lightly fluted. $25.00
