Howdy Do

Howdy Do (Monty Byers, 1985) is a truly extraordinary Tall Bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Reaching an impressive 35" (89 cm), this cultivar unfurls from early to late season with exquisitely ruffled, silver-white petals, each delicately suffused with a faint yellow glow at the hafts. The blue-white beard, tipped in cadmium orange and finished with a dramatic 1" blue horn, gives Howdy Do a sculptural, unmistakable silhouette that is both opalescent and dynamic. Bred from the celebrated cross of 'Actress' X 'Sky Hooks', Howdy Do earned an Honorable Mention in 1989 for its refined hybridizing and luminous, painterly coloration. As a rebloomer, it has demonstrated repeat bloom performance in California and the Netherlands (Rebloom Zone: Unknown), making it a dynamic choice for those seeking extended color and visual intrigue in the landscape. This collector-grade iris is a standout for borders, show gardens, or any setting where a memorable, exhibition-ready bloom is desired. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
