Ballistic

Ballistic (Paul Black, 2002) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, graphic color pattern and dynamic presence in the early spring garden. This 14" standout features medium yellow standards dramatically edged with a wide, burgundy band veined and spotted along the inner edge, complemented by burgundy style arms and an orchid midrib. The falls echo the vibrant yellow, accented by a precise 1/4" burgundy band, intricate veining, and a striking burgundy centerline. Beards transition from orange gold in the throat to brown at the tips, adding further depth. With a pedigree from 'First Alert' x 'Sweet Bite', Ballistic is a medal-worthy, award-winning cultivar (Honorable Mention 2004, Award of Merit 2007) that brings a vivid, showpiece quality to any border or collector’s bed.
