Arlie Payne — the most important figure in the history of American Japanese irises, and the man for whom the Payne Medal, the class's highest award, is named. Payne bred Japanese irises in Indiana across the middle of the twentieth century and effectively created the American strain. To grow one of his introductions is to grow a piece of that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe flower is raisin purple — a warm, deep, brownish-purple — dappled and mottled over with white, all of it wrapped around a large violet halo at the center. Registered in 1965 and introduced in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStanding 39 inches with midseason bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJapanese irises want moisture, especially through spring bloom season, and slightly acidic soil — they won't tolerate lime. Full sun gives the best performance. Hardy in zones 4–8.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreativeEdge Daylilies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48299507286252,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/9825\/8156\/files\/Dappled_Dragon_1.png?v=1788488838","url":"https:\/\/creativedgedaylilies.com\/products\/dappled-dragon","provider":"CreativEdge Daylilies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
