Avery's Hugs

Avery’s Hugs (Cheryl Deaton, 2010) is a memorable Tall Bearded Iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to the garden. Reaching 38" (97 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this cultivar features luminous light yellow standards with slightly deeper gold edges and yellow style arms trimmed in dark gold. The falls are a dramatic blend of dark gold overlaid with a vivid violet flush, accented by copper orange shoulders that deepen toward the throat and an iridescent finish. The beards are a dynamic mix: dark gold in the throat, shifting to dark violet at the base, tipped with gold in the middle, and ending in a distinctive 1/4" naked white horn with a violet underside. Purple-based foliage and a subtle sweet fragrance add to its refined appeal. Bred from Thornbird x Syncopation, Avery’s Hugs is a painterly, conversation-starting bloom—perfect for collectors and those seeking a statement-making addition to their landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Novelty, Space Age
