Looks Can Thrill

Looks Can Thrill (Barry Blyth, 2022) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its dramatic color contrast and painterly patterning. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this cultivar features luminous white standards edged with a whisper of violet to tan, held in a charismatic akimbo stance. The sculptural white style arms are accented with gold crests, while the falls are saturated violet, nearly black, and boldly marked with a graphic white spray radiating a quarter of the way over each petal. Light gold beards and a sweet fragrance add to its allure. A sibling to Pure Excitement x Bombastic, Looks Can Thrill is a true garden showpiece and a memorable addition to any collector’s bed. Introduced by Mid-America in 2022. Attributes: Edge Trim
