Apollo One

Apollo One (George Sutton, 1995) is a truly extraordinary Tall Bearded iris, celebrated for its painterly, high-contrast color play and sculptural form. Reaching 34" (86 cm) and blooming in the early midseason, this cultivar features luminous white standards elegantly sanded and edged in spiraea red (RHS 63A), with style arms blending white and burgundy for added intrigue. The crisp white falls are boldly striped and edged in spiraea red, accented by a dramatic bronze gold beard tipped in light burgundy and a spiraea red horn. Ruffled petals and a pronounced sweet fragrance make Apollo One a garden-showpiece and a collector-grade addition. Bred from Point In Time X Sky Hooks, it earned an Honorable Mention in 2000. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
