Dark purple with deeper purple eye and edge, outlined in white ruffles above a yellow-green throat. Empress Irene of Athens was the first female ruler of the Byzantine Empire; likewise, Queen Irene is the empress of my garden and my first introduction. She is striking but not flamboyant, beautiful but not gaudy. Here in Massachusetts, she begins blooming in early July and continues to put up scapes well into August. She's incredibly fertile and makes striking, royal children.
