Dark Design

Dark Design (Keith Keppel, 2011) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its bold, high-contrast color play and sculptural form. Reaching 10" (25 cm) in midseason, this captivating variety features huckleberry standards with a luminous white center softly flushed in pale yellow, complemented by matching huckleberry style arms. The falls are a warm white, dramatically encircled by a wide, saturated band of huckleberry to monkshood, creating a painterly, gallery-worthy effect. White beards tipped bronze to yellow add a refined finishing touch. With its pedigree-worthy lineage and Honorable Mention from the AIS in 2014, Dark Design is a true garden showpiece—perfect for collectors and those seeking a statement-making, exhibition-grade bloom. Hybridized by Keith Keppel and introduced in 2012. Attributes: Fertile Awards: Honorable Mention
