Handsome Devil

Handsome Devil (Keith Keppel, 2021) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a dramatic, gallery-worthy presence in the garden. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features rich, dark burgundy standards and burgundy-black falls, accented by white striations around blue-grey to violet beards and a subtle mustard throat. The style arms and wings add painterly notes of castilian brown and brass, creating a bold, color-forward bloom with undeniable visual impact. With its pedigree from Inside Track, Spice Lord, and Reckless Abandon, Handsome Devil is a medal-worthy, field-stopping addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a show garden centerpiece.
