Daring Deception

Daring Deception (Thomas Johnson, 2012) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded Iris that delivers a truly unforgettable display. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features luminous white standards with a delicate violet wash up the midrib and crisp white style arms. The plush, saturated violet falls are boldly edged with a wide, clean white band and accented by a dramatic white spray flanking the vivid tangerine beards. Lightly fragrant, Daring Deception is both a collector-grade and exhibition-ready iris, boasting a pedigree from 'By Jeeves' and a Blyth seedling. Its decorated history includes the Honorable Mention (2014), Award of Merit (2016), Wister Medal (2019), and the prestigious American Dykes Medal (2021). A true centerpiece for any border or show garden, available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant Awards: American Dykes Medal, Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, Wister Medal
