Chocolate Moose is an award-winning tall bearded iris that rises to about 3 feet in height and blooms midsummer. Its showy flowers have yellow shoulders, burnt yellow beards, and ruffled petals that are a unique shade of dark purple to chocolate brown haphazardly streaked in white. Borne on sturdy stems above sword-like fans of blue-green foliage, these fabulous flowers emit a slight, sweet fragrance that lures pollinators to the garden, especially butterflies. They are interesting cut flowers that make exceptional summer bouquets and remarkable additions to floral arrangements.
