Cheetah Cheese

Cheetah Cheese (Kathie Kasperek, 2001) is a remarkable novelty tall bearded iris, celebrated for its bold, pattern-forward presence and award-winning pedigree. Reaching 32" (81 cm) in midseason, this cultivar features luminous orange buff standards and style arms, while the falls showcase a dramatic netted deep jasper red overlay on an orange buff ground, accented by butter cream streaking. The vivid, bright deep orange beards and ruffled, broken color blooms create a gallery-worthy, conversation-starting effect in any garden. With a slight fragrance and a heritage that includes Giraffe Kneehiz and Hippoz Tutu, Cheetah Cheese is a medal-worthy, field-stopping centerpiece—honored with an Honorable Mention in 2005 and an Award of Merit in 2009. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Novelty, Ruffled Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
