Fantastical

Fantastical (Anton Mego, 2020) is a truly extraordinary Tall Bearded iris, celebrated for its painterly color play and sculptural form. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this mid-to-late season standout features amethyst violet standards subtly washed with greyed yellow, while the style arms echo the amethyst hue and are crowned with yellow crests. The luminous yellow falls intensify at the edges, dramatically punctuated by a wide, wisteria blue blaze that sweeps down from the vibrant yellow-orange beards. A large, pale yellow flounce and a hint of wisteria blue on the underside add further intrigue. Fantastical’s ruffled and serrated petals, paired with a slight spicy fragrance, make it a gallery-worthy, collector-grade addition to any garden. With its complex pedigree and bold, color-forward presence, Fantastical is a true showpiece for the discerning iris enthusiast.
