Cosmic Voyage

Cosmic Voyage (Keith Keppel, 2016) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that radiates with bold, high-contrast color and sophisticated patterning. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features rich, dark purple standards flecked with subtle white and prune-purple, creating a painterly, opalescent effect. The style arms are elegantly blended in redder, lighter tones, adding a refined, upscale touch. Falls are edged in deep purple, transitioning to vibrant cyclamen, and encircled by a ⁵⁄₈" golden buff-orange band with limited dotting and raying for a graphic, color-forward look. Faint white ground peeks through under dark haft markings, while the beard is a curated blend of white-based hairs, lavender mid-layers, and terra cotta tips. With a pedigree including Sorbonne, Cosmic Voyage is fertile, noted for its edge trim, and offers potential for reblooming. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2019, this cultivar is a collector-grade, statement-making centerpiece for any garden. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
