In Focus

In Focus (Sutton, 2007) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its vivid, painterly color contrast and refined form. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming in the late midseason, this Honorable Mention winner (2009) features luminous yellow standards (RHS 4B) and style arms veined in maroon, dramatically set off by rich ruby red falls edged lighter and accented with a yellow blaze around a bold orange beard. The ruffled petals and slight sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. Bred from Lets Boogie X Ocelot, In Focus is a collector-grade, field-stopping iris with undeniable presence—perfect for making a statement in any landscape.
