Elizabethan Age

Elizabethan Age (Lowell Baumunk, 2005) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that radiates sophistication and artistry in the garden. Reaching 33" (84 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar features refined apricot standards delicately washed with a translucent purple infusion, deepening toward the center. The style arms mirror the apricot with subtle purple highlights, while the falls dazzle with luminous white, edged and hafted in apricot, and dramatically overlaid with a rich, dark purple luminata pattern—allowing apricot and white veining to shimmer around the vivid tangerine beards. The result is a painterly, opulent bloom with dynamic contrast and captivating detail. Elizabethan Age boasts a distinguished pedigree, combining the best of 'Cheating Heart', 'Prize Drawing', 'Flights Of Fancy', and 'County Of Kent'. Its accolades include an Honorable Mention (2007), Award of Merit (2009), Favorite Guest (2009), and the prestigious Wister Medal (2013), underscoring its status as a collector-grade, medal-worthy iris. While not fragrant, it is a rebloomer in zone 7a, offering encore performances in suitable climates. This cultivar is a must-have for iris enthusiasts seeking a dramatic, high-impact addition to their collection. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
