The velvety centre falls of Iris 'Carnival Time' are rusty orange with maroon overtones, velvet amber margins and a golden yellow throat. The standard petals are copper-coloured and ruffled. Iris 'Carnival Time' is ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, and makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results grow Iris 'Carnival Time' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
