Dutch Iris 'Autumn Princess' Bulbs – Bronze & Brown Spring Blooms

Warm, rich, and wonderfully uncommon, Dutch Iris 'Autumn Princess' brings earthy bronze and brown tones that set it apart from the typical blue-and-white iris palette. Deer resistant and perennial, these bulbs naturalize easily — multiplying year after year to fill borders with more color and character each spring. With strong 18"–24" stems, they're equally at home in fresh-cut arrangements and garden beds.
