Centurion Suit Tall Bearded Iris Rhizome | 2026 Bonus | Purple & Brown Variegata

Centurion Suit Tall Bearded Iris — 2026 Bonus Variety

Roman Centurions, adorned in their centurion suits, each commanded 100 men. Our own Centurion Suit commands 100 years of hybridizing pedigree — a suit of armor all its own. Amazingly, its lineage can be traced back over seven generations to the award-winning 1964 introduction Stepping Out. It is remarkable where iris hybridizing will take you when given the time.

The earliest blooming of Schreiner's 2025 introductions, Centurion Suit produces up to 11 buds per stalk for an extended bloom time. Its robust growing traits also permit quick clump formation — making sure it is truly fit for a garden spectacle.
