Beat the Heat

Beat the Heat (Tom Burseen, 1995) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its luminous color palette and sculptural form. Reaching 35" (89 cm), this early to midseason bloomer features light lavender blue standards and style arms with a dramatic darker midrib, while the falls showcase a rich violet (RHS 87A) hue accented by mustard beards and elegant ruffling. With a pedigree that includes Polar Seas and notable parentage from Bubble Bath, Titans Glory, and Bluid, Beat the Heat is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris—perfect for adding a bold, garden-showpiece presence to any landscape. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Ruffled Awards: TB's Place
