Bearded Irises ‘Kent Pride’ or ‘Pride of Kent’, a cultivar known for its distinct chestnut-brown standards and yellow falls
Seen growing among Bronze Fennel at RHS Wisley. I have the Bronze Fennel, I think I need to buy some of these irises to plant with it.
Bearded Iris ‘Kent Pride’ (often referred to as ‘Pride of Kent’) is a classic, award-winning tall bearded iris bred in the 1950s. It is highly prized for its rich, burnished coppery-brown tones
I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

I bet they cost a pretty penny
Not really, less than a fiver for a bare root. Of course to get this effect you need more than one!
Over here they are $10 to $30
What a wonderfully warming combination. I love bearded iris, but you do need to give them a nice big sunny bed of their own.
That’s true, and where my bronze fennel is located is not the sunniest spot in the garden.
