Gussied Up

Gussied Up (Thomas Johnson, 2021) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, high-contrast color play and refined form. This 35" midseason standout features luminous white standards with a subtle lavender flush at the center, complemented by sculptural white style arms and gold crests. The falls are a deep, rich purple, dramatically edged and veined in white, creating a painterly, gallery-worthy effect. Beards glow burnt orange with lavender tips and ends, adding a vibrant, color-forward accent. Gussied Up is further distinguished by its sweet fragrance and pedigree as a sibling to Thundering Applause. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2023, this iris is a show garden centerpiece and a collector-grade addition for any enthusiast seeking a bloom with undeniable presence.
