IrisUmbria.it Online Store

You can browse irises by name, size, colour group, flowering time, style, or qualities (such as prizewinning, perfumed, reblooming irises, and historic irises). You can also buy our virgin olive oil (collection only) and view our holiday rentals. Please note that for most of our irises there are (subject to availability) significant discounts if you order 3 or 5 of the same variety in the same order.

Important notice! We supply irises as bare root rhizomes which are dug from the field to your order and therefore they can only be delivered during the lifting season, in September-October each year, and there is a cut off date for orders after which any orders will be suppled the following year. For delivery in 2026, we are accepting orders up until 18 October 2026, inclusive, for orders destined for Italy and the EU, and 20 September 2026 for orders destined for the UK. Orders placed after those dates will not be delivered until 2027.

An exceptionally beautiful and rare historic iris dating to 1923, which really has to be seen to appreciate how special it is. The flowers are displayed on very tall elegantly branched stems and their colour really does have the warm glow of glowing embers in the fire.


Un iris storico eccezionalmente bello e raro risalente al 1923, che deve davvero essere visto per apprezzarne la sua specialità. I fiori sono esposti su steli molto alti ed elegantemente ramificati e il loro colore ha davvero il caldo bagliore delle braci ardenti nel fuoco (da qui il nome “Glowing Embers”, che significa braci ardenti).
