Here Comes Trouble

Here Comes Trouble (Thomas Johnson, 2023) is a breathtaking Tall Bearded Iris that delivers a dramatic, gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Towering at 36" (91.5 cm), this early to midseason bloom dazzles with opulent standards in deep burgundy to maroon, each petal boldly edged in a wide gold band for a regal, high-contrast effect. The style arms glow with yellow and maroon, while the falls plunge into a saturated beetroot red—nearly black—framed by a narrow gold edge and illuminated by a central white luminata patch brushed with gold. Vivid orange beards add a final, electric pop of color, and a pronounced sweet fragrance completes the sensory experience. With its sculptural ruffles, vibrant color play, and commanding stature, Here Comes Trouble is a collector-grade, Honorable Mention-winning iris that transforms any landscape into a show garden.
