Hidden Gem

Hidden Gem (Margie Valenzuela, 2007) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its singular color play and refined presence. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar features luminous light pewter-blue standards and bold mustard gold style arms. The falls are a dramatic canvas: white, intricately peppered with light pewter-blue, intensifying to near-solid edges and a near-white center, accented by a center line spotted in pewter-blue. The beards are a sophisticated pewter blue tipped with mustard gold, adding a final touch of artistry. Bred from ‘Violet Shimmer’ x ‘Tanzanian Tangerine’, Hidden Gem is a collector-grade, pattern-forward iris with undeniable garden-showpiece appeal. Introduced by Nola in 2009. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim
