Hippo'z Tutu

Hippo'z Tutu (Brad Kasperek, 1996) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, color-forward design and dynamic presence in the garden. Reaching 32" (81 cm), this early midseason bloomer features cyclamen purple standards with lighter midribs, laced cyclamen purple style arms, and dramatic falls of crisp white edged in a vivid 1/2" band of cyclamen purple, accented by inner stippling and a central stripe. The burnt orange beards add a brilliant pop of contrast. With moderately ruffled and laced petals, Hippo'z Tutu is a gallery-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a showpiece for their landscape. Bred from 'Baboon Bottom' x 'Raspberry Fudge', this Zebra introduction earned an Honorable Mention in 1998, underscoring its pedigree and standout appeal. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
