Adriatic Waves

Adriatic Waves (Keith Keppel, 2009) is a commanding tall bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Reaching 40" (102 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features luminous cornflower blue standards and style arms, with medium violet-blue falls that shade to a steeplechase blue margin. The heavily ruffled petals and white beards tipped in lemon, finishing pale blue, create a painterly, sculptural effect. With a pedigree from Yaquina Blue and Sea Power x Rippling River, Adriatic Waves is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—recognized with an Honorable Mention in 2011 and Award of Merit in 2013. A true landscape centerpiece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fertile, Ruffled Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
