Holy Ground

Holy Ground (Hugh Stout, 2018) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a dramatic garden presence with its rich, color-forward blooms. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming in the early midseason, this cultivar features heliotrope-medium purple standards and style arms, contrasted by saturated, dark Tyrian purple falls edged in fine light purple. White veining around the bold cinnabar-orange beards adds a painterly touch, while ruffled petals and a slight sweet fragrance elevate its appeal. With its pedigree from Backdraft x Oxford Countess, Holy Ground is a memorable, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a statement-making centerpiece for the landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Ruffled
