Congratulations

Congratulations (Keith Keppel, 1982) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that radiates sophistication and color artistry. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming in midseason, this cultivar features luminous blue standards with a delicate violet flush along the midrib, contrasted by rich pansy violet falls that softly lighten at the edges. The beard is a captivating detail—blue at the base, tipped in yellow—adding a painterly touch to its sculptural form. Bred from 'Social Whirl' x 'Mystique', Congratulations is enhanced by a subtle sweet fragrance and a pedigree marked by multiple awards, including an Honorable Mention (1985) and Award of Merit (1988). As a rebloomer, with rebloom reported in California, it offers dynamic, extended performance in the garden. This collector-grade iris is a true centerpiece for those who appreciate heritage, vibrant color, and refined garden presence.
