Living It Up

Living It Up (Thomas Johnson, 2021) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention in any garden setting. Reaching 37" (94 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar showcases luminous deep butter yellow standards edged in light lemon, complemented by lemon yellow style arms. The falls feature a vivid blue-violet ground, dramatically washed with deep rose-violet at the hafts, accented by a yellow flash beside the beard and a light lemon band. The beards themselves transition from yellow in the throat and middle to light violet-blue at the ends, adding a painterly touch. With a musky fragrance and a pedigree that includes That’s Entertainment and Keppel’s Red Skies x Gypsy Lord, Living It Up is a garden-showpiece with undeniable presence and color-forward appeal. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant
