Sharp Dressed Man German Iris
Iris germanica 'Sharp Dressed Man'
 
Striking, sophisticated, and full of presence, Sharp Dressed Man German Iris brings a bold, elegant statement to the late spring garden. This bearded iris features large, ruffled blooms with rich, velvety purple-black falls and contrasting lighter standards—creating a dramatic two-tone effect that commands attention in borders and floral displays.
 
With strong, upright stems and sword-like blue-green foliage, this variety adds vertical interest and architectural structure even when not in bloom. Like all German irises, ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ thrives in sunny, well-drained locations and benefits from good air circulation to keep its foliage healthy.
 
Perfect for perennial beds, cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements, it’s both deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established. This bold beauty delivers not only stunning color but also reliable performance and low maintenance.
 
Add a touch of dramatic elegance to your garden with Sharp Dressed Man Iris—a refined showstopper that lives up to its name.
