BAYBERRY CANDLE is a new color that has caused much comment. The standards are a yellow-green and the falls are brown-green. It has fine form, but was damaged by a late freeze this year, which kept me from evaluating its branching, etc. [Mullin, Ron (1971).

• 'Bayberry Candle' is one of my very favorite irises, but it does not grow well for me in Simi Valley, CA. I think it is too hot here for it. It stays very short and does not multiply well. -- ReneeFraser - 17 Sep 2012
