Carter Spring

Carter Spring (Ryan Carter by Donald Spoon, 2006) is a breathtaking Tall Bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming in the late midseason, this cultivar features luminous yellow standards (RHS 7D) with a delicate lavender base and midrib, complemented by style arms that echo the yellow and lavender motif. The falls are a vibrant medium lavender, deepening to the darkest shade (92A) at the center below the beards, then melting into an old gold edge—a dramatic, color-forward transition. The beards are white tipped with light yellow-orange, intensifying to a rich (23A) in the throat. Ruffled petals and a slight sweet fragrance add to its refined, exhibition-grade appeal. Bred from Edith Wolford x Colette Thurillet, Carter Spring is a collector-grade iris with both pedigree and undeniable visual impact. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
