Leopard Print

Leopard Print (Thomas Johnson, 2006) is a remarkable SDB iris, standing 12" (30 cm) tall and blooming midseason. This award-winning cultivar captivates with its singular broken color pattern: ecru standards dramatically flecked with irregular violet spots, complemented by pinkish rose style arms with turquoise ribs and ecru crests. The falls are ecru with brassy olive hafts, bold violet spotting, and a white dart at the end of the beards merging into a vivid blue center line. Yellow-tipped white beards add a luminous accent. With a slight sweet fragrance and a pedigree that includes 'Tahoma' and 'Brash', Leopard Print is a true garden showpiece—memorable, pattern-forward, and field-stopping. Honored with an HM in 2008 and an Award of Merit in 2011, this cultivar is a must-have for collectors and those seeking a conversation-starting centerpiece for their landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
