Stairway To Heaven (Lauer, 1992) TB HM AM WM DM

Stairway To Heaven is a historic tall bearded iris introduced by Larry Lauer in 1992, blooming early to midseason at about 40 inches. Creamy off white standards rise above medium blue falls softly undertoned in lavender, creating one of the most beloved and recognizable blue and white combinations in modern iris breeding. White beards enhance the clean contrast, and a slight fragrance adds another layer of charm. Bred from Edith Wolford × Breakers, this classic went on to earn Honorable Mention, Award of Merit, the Wister Medal, and the American Dykes Medal.
