SDB Iris ‘Cat’s Eye’ is a favorite little iris of many iris gardeners. Though small, this perfectly formed miniature iris is striking and makes a big impact! Its lovely, unusual mauve rose hue with big red thumbprint on the falls and old gold beard are very appealing.

We have a clump growing under a native oak in a mixed flower border featuring a palette accented with dark wine red. It’s a vigorous grower, so we should be able to offer it on our store most years. It has Purple Based Foliage (PBF)  visible during and after flowering. There is also a little, faint, purplish color on the spathes as well.

Seedling H238CC. SDB Standards and style arms mauve rose; Falls dark red texture-veined black, wide mauve rose band; beards old gold, violet base; slight spicy fragrance. ‘Snugglebug’ X ‘Buddy Boy’.
