Eagle Control

Eagle Control (George Sutton, 1998) is a collector-grade Tall Bearded iris that delivers a truly unforgettable garden presence. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features sculptural, ruffled, and lightly laced petals. The standards and style arms radiate a luminous lobelia blue (RHS 91C), while the falls transition from pale lobelia blue (91D) to near-white, accented by a deeper blue centerline for a painterly, color-forward effect. The beards are pale lobelia blue with subtle yellow deep in the throat and a pale blue horn, adding to its visual intrigue. Bred from 'Dauber's Surprise' x 'Honky Tonk Blues', Eagle Control was introduced in 1999 and honored with an Honorable Mention in 2002. This extraordinary, field-stopping novelty is perfect for those seeking a dramatic, exhibition-grade centerpiece. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
