Foreign Agent

Foreign Agent (Keith Keppel, 2016) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and graphic patterning. Reaching 38" (97 cm) and blooming late in the season, this cultivar features standards in reed yellow to ivory, delicately touched with lavender at the base and a pronounced violet-blue midrib. The style arms echo the reed yellow, while the falls are dramatically washed and striated in roslyn and lobelia blue, edged with a subtle putty tone. Haft areas are overlaid in walnut and victoria violet, accentuated by white netting, and the beards glow bronze yellow with light blue-based hairs. With its dynamic color contrasts and pedigree from Silk Road x Roaring Twenties, Foreign Agent is a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a centerpiece bloom with undeniable presence.
