Borderline

Borderline (Joseph Ghio, 1983) is a remarkable Border Bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy flair to the garden. Standing at 26" (66 cm), this midseason to late bloomer showcases luminous white standards softly infused with yellow, while the falls are a vivid yellow, boldly framed by a wide, ruffled white edge. The plush white beard adds a refined finishing touch, making each bloom a true showpiece. With a distinguished pedigree—'Marmalade Skies' crossed with 'Sun King' lineage—Borderline has earned multiple accolades, including the Certificate (1983), Honorable Mention (1986), and Award of Merit (1988). Notably, this iris is a rebloomer, with repeat bloom reported in California, Washington, and the Netherlands (Rebloomer Unknown Zone). Its dynamic color contrast and robust performance make Borderline a collector-grade, medal-worthy addition for any discerning gardener seeking a vivid, unforgettable centerpiece.
