The stalk is very strong, well-branched and 40 inches tall. Mid-season. Very large plants and a fast increaser. Winter hardy. H. M. 1946.

Texture is especially heavy and the flowers last a long time in either rain or heat. Stems reach a height of 3 feet. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Cooley's Iris catalog 1952, p. 12.
