Cranapple

Cranapple (J. Terry Aitken, 1995) is a collector-grade iris celebrated for its extraordinary, rich-toned cranberry red standards and dark, velvety falls, accented by painterly russet beards. This early midseason bloomer stands at a robust 24" (61 cm), offering a gallery-worthy, high-contrast presence in the garden. With a heritage that includes the Honorable Mention (1997), Award of Merit (1999), and the prestigious Knowlton Medal (2001), Cranapple is a pedigree-worthy standout. Its saturated, vibrant blooms and bold, sculptural form make it a show garden centerpiece and a must-have for any iris enthusiast seeking a truly memorable, award-winning variety. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Historic Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, Knowlton Medal
