Antsy

Antsy (Thomas Johnson, 2017) is a truly distinctive Standard Dwarf Bearded iris, celebrated for its gallery-worthy color artistry and late midseason bloom. Reaching 14" (36 cm), this cultivar features refined standards in tan to muted yellow, complemented by luminous light blue style arms. The falls are a dramatic showcase: a bold, oversized brown spot is surrounded by a diffused yellow edge that melts into a lavender-washed band, all finished with a radiant yellow rim. The beards are a painterly blend—brown and tangerine in the throat, ending in a bushy, electric blue flourish—creating a vivid, unforgettable effect. Lightly fragrant and honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2022, Antsy is a rebloomer in USDA Zone 8 (reported in California), offering encore performances for collectors and enthusiasts. Bred from ‘Thump’ X ‘Lab’ and introduced by Mid-America Garden, Antsy is a conversation-starting, premium-grade addition to any iris collection.
