Box of Chocolates

Box of Chocolates (Barry Blyth, 2022) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and dramatic patterning. Reaching 32" (81 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features standards with tan dots and shading over a creamy base, complemented by deep brown style arms highlighted with yellow rays. The falls showcase a vivid yellow base, boldly veined with deep brown that intensifies to a solid black-brown edge, creating a graphic, high-contrast effect. Yellow beards tipped in brown add a final touch of distinction. With its gallery-worthy coloration and pedigree from Keppel’s Reckless Abandon x Sorbonne crossed with Dark Energy, Box of Chocolates is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris that brings a dynamic, showpiece presence to any garden. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2024. Attributes: Edge Trim Awards: Honorable Mention
