Bellarosella

Bellarosella (James Begley by Barbara BeVier, 2005) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention in any garden setting. Reaching 38" (97 cm) and blooming midseason, Bellarosella features luminous light lavender-pink standards and matching style arms, delicately laced and lightly marked with raspberry. The falls are saturated raspberry, edged with a thin lavender-pink rim, and finished with ruffled, laced edges for a sculptural, gallery-worthy effect. Vivid red-orange beards tipped in gold add a bold, eye-catching accent. With its painterly color contrast and refined form, Bellarosella is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a showpiece for their beds. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2009. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Laced, Ruffled Awards: Honorable Mention
