Hell's Fire

Hell’s Fire (Sanford Roberts, 1976) is a bold, collector-grade Tall Bearded iris that brings a dramatic, high-impact presence to any garden. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this early to midseason bloomer is renowned for its reliable reblooming in USDA Zone 7, with reports from California and Texas. The ruffled standards display a deep, saturated black-red (near RHS 187A) with a lighter, painterly midrib, while the falls intensify to an even darker, velvety black-red, all accented by a luxe dark bronze beard. With a distinguished pedigree—('Lois Craig' x 'Edenite') X ('Adam' x 'Edenite')—and an Honorable Mention from 1978, Hell’s Fire is a true showpiece: visually arresting, pedigree-worthy, and perfect for those seeking a statement-making, heritage-quality iris.
