Artful Accent

Artful Accent (Paul Black, 2018) is a remarkable arilbred iris (OGB) that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and sculptural form. Reaching 24" (61 cm) and blooming midseason, this hybridizer’s dream features standards of pale ice blue-white with a luminous gold-yellow center and dramatic rib, while bright marigold style arms are edged in silver-white. The falls are a captivating light rose-violet, with cream hafts veined in auburn and a bold brown-black signal patch that cascades into a red-brown wash, fading to a paler edge. Beards are white-based with burnt marigold tips, and a slight sweet fragrance adds to its allure. Bred from ‘Lancer’ X ‘Eyes on You’ and introduced by Mid-America in 2018, Artful Accent is a true garden showpiece—perfect for collectors seeking a vivid, conversation-starting centerpiece. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
