Ebony and Ivory

Ebony and Ivory (Kevin Vaughn, 2018) is a remarkable MTB iris that commands attention with its dramatic high-contrast palette and refined form. This midseason to late bloomer features luminous white standards and style arms, subtly touched with pale violet near the stigma, set above bold, purple-black falls edged in crisp white and intricately veined in black and white on the upper third. Vivid yellow beards transition to white at the tips, adding a painterly accent to each bloom. With a slight sweet fragrance and a commanding 20" (51 cm) stature, Ebony and Ivory is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready standout—perfect for adding a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2024. Parentage: 'Jolee Aire' X 'Jiggity-Jig'. Introduced by Salmon Creek in 2022. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Veining Awards: Honorable Mention
