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.
This iris was named after a former director of the Tuileries Garden at the Louvre. The flowers are heavily ruffled, giving the impression that Nelly Tardivier is dressed up for a glamorous evening out on the town! very unusual colour: amaranth falls with borders that turn to light pink-copper, lavender-violet standards and bronze-hued beards.
