Sans Souci (Van Houtte, 1854) TB

Sans Souci is a historic tall bearded iris introduced by Louis Benoît Van Houtte in 1854. Blooming midseason, it features bright yellow standards paired with light red-brown falls, creating that unmistakable warm gold and mahogany contrast seen in many early bearded irises. Often historically confused or mixed with Honorabile, Sans Souci represents the rich color patterns that defined mid-19th century iris breeding. Its bold two-tone form carries strong heritage character and old garden charm. On the smaller side at under 30 inches.
