Unicorn Austin 1954
Here you have it, the grand daddy of them all. Unicorn is the first Space Age introduction and a mighty tough customer at that. It never ceases to amaze me how the old Historics can weather any climatic or growing conditions. Unicorn is a titan in the iris beds, a warrior with thin 45 inch stalks that don't blow over. The appendages are consistent and long unlike many of today's recent introductions. I have two clumps of this iris and it grows like a weed. I'm definitely going to try this iris in my New Historics program next Spring.
