Chanted

Chanted (Barry Blyth, 1990) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its unique color blend and refined form. Reaching 12-14" (31-36 cm) in height, this midseason bloomer features luminous pink petals with a smoky cast, highlighted by a vivid lavender-blue beard and a flash of tangerine in the throat. Its pedigree—Oladi crossed with Peach Eyes x Kandi Moon—delivers a garden-showpiece bloom that stands out in any border. Chanted is a memorable addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a captivating, pedigree-worthy iris with undeniable presence. Attributes: Fertile, Guardian Garden, Historic Guardian Garden (GG) This cultivar is a Guardian Garden Iris. Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
