ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1963 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 35" BLOOM SEASON: Early to Mid DESCRIPTION: Even primrose to lemon-yellow self; matching beard. PARENTAGE: From long line of sdlgs. AWARDS: None INTERESTING INFO: From the Schreiner's 1963 Iris Lover's Catalog: Color experts consider lemon yellow the criterion of what constitutes true yellow. Lemon Mint is just such a cool primrose or lemon yellow with no inclination toward either green or gold. Look at your iris planting: Wouldn't more yellow add vibrancy to the general effect? At least one-fourth of an iris planting should be yellow, landscape artists maintain. In Lemon Mint, we have a crisply flaring, lightly ruffled soft true yellow that will light up an iris garden and glamorize all the other colors.
