Firebug

Firebug (Joseph Gatty by Keith Keppel, 1994) is a remarkable Intermediate Bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, late-season display. Reaching 26" (66 cm), this captivating variety features luminous standards in a deep chrome lemon, dramatically contrasted by rich garnet brown to algerian red falls, each edged with a narrow rim echoing the standards. The beards glow chrome lemon, tipped white, with a bronze yellow throat for added vibrancy. Firebug’s slight fragrance and dynamic color palette make it a garden-showpiece and a collector’s favorite. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 1996, this pedigreed iris (Jazzamatazz X Smart Aleck) is a standout addition for any landscape or iris enthusiast. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
