Ghirardelli Square

Ghirardelli Square (Keith Keppel, 2015) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its sophisticated color play and bold patterning. Reaching 38" tall, this early midseason bloomer features standards in a rich blend of brazil brown and horsechestnut, complemented by style arms shaded from brazil brown to raw umber with a touch of wax yellow. The falls are a crisp white, dramatically edged with a 3/8" band of deep purple-chocolate plicata and accented by subtle speckling and short dark veins near the mustard-tan beards, whose lavender-based hairs add further intrigue. With its pedigree from ‘Inside Trac’ x ‘Spice Lord’ crossed with ‘Reckless Abandon’, Ghirardelli Square is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris that has earned both the Honorable Mention (2018) and Award of Merit (2021). A true garden showpiece, it brings a dynamic, gallery-worthy presence to any landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
