Last Resort

Last Resort (Silvia Jarrett, 2015) is a truly captivating Tall Bearded Iris that brings a refined, gallery-worthy flair to the garden. Reaching 34" (86 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar dazzles with luminous white standards brushed with a broad pink-apricot infusion that softly fades at the edges, creating an opalescent, painterly effect. The light orange-apricot style arms add a gentle warmth, while the pristine white falls are elegantly edged in lavender-tinted apricot and accented by orange-veined hafts for a graphic touch. Its beards are a visual masterpiece—orange in the throat, transitioning to white, and finishing with dramatic purple ends and a flounce. A slight sweet fragrance completes the sensory experience. With seed from Denise Stewart of Snowpeak Iris and parentage unknown, Last Resort is a collector-grade, memorable addition for those seeking a bloom with sophisticated color play and undeniable charisma.
