Doctor Who

Doctor Who (Sutton, 2010) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, graphic color contrast and sculptural form. Reaching 37" (94 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this award-winning variety features luminous chinese yellow standards and style arms (RHS 20D) set above dramatic beetroot purple falls (71A), each petal punctuated by a vibrant burst pattern of yellow and purple. The beards glow in a saturated spanish orange, adding a painterly touch to the ruffled, exhibition-grade blooms. With a slight sweet fragrance and a pedigree from Tropical Delight X Snowed In, Doctor Who is a medal-worthy, field-stopping centerpiece for any garden. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 2012 and an Award of Merit in 2016, this cultivar is a true collector’s iris, available from Amethyst Creek Farm.
