Iris hollandica 'Black Beauty' is a mesmerizing and dramatic variety of the Dutch iris. Its blooms boast a deep, velvety black hue with a central bright yellow stripe on each fall, providing a stark and stunning contrast. These flowers sit gracefully atop slender, erect stems, surrounded by sword-shaped green leaves, adding an air of elegance and intrigue to gardens.
