Green Jungle

Green Jungle (Lloyd Austin, 1963) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its singular color palette and early bloom. Reaching 34" (86 cm), this cultivar features luminous greenish chartreuse standards and chartreuse olive falls flushed with crimson, creating a dramatic, painterly effect in the garden. With its bold, color-forward presence and noteworthy pedigree (Gaylord X Summit), Green Jungle is a collector-grade addition for those seeking a truly unique, conversation-starting centerpiece. Introduced by Rainbow in 1963. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Guardian Garden, Historic Guardian Garden (GG) This cultivar is a Guardian Garden Iris. Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
