Gilty

Gilty (Michael Sutton, 2022) is a dazzling Tall Bearded iris that radiates gallery-worthy sophistication in the garden. Reaching 34" (86 cm) and blooming from midseason to late, Gilty features luminous white standards delicately rimmed in gold, with style arms tipped in matching gold for a refined touch. The falls transition from pristine white to a vivid violet-blue across most of the petal, creating a painterly, high-contrast effect. Its beards are a vibrant blend—orange at the throat and middle, shifting to yellow-orange at the ends, and finished with bold, fuzzy 1" yellow-orange horns for sculptural flair. Bred from 'Crossed the Line' X 'Night’s Edge', this Honorable Mention winner (2025) is a rebloomer in USDA Zone 7a, offering encore performances in the right climate. Gilty is a true show garden centerpiece, perfect for collectors seeking a memorable, conversation-starting bloom.
