Magharee

Magharee (Barry Blyth, 1986) is a remarkable Tall Bearded iris that brings a refined, gallery-worthy presence to the garden. Reaching an impressive 38-40" (97-102 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features luminous white standards delicately brushed with pastel pink at the midrib, while the falls display a sophisticated rose to orchid pink, crisply edged with a 1/4" white margin. The bold orange tangerine beard adds a vivid pop of color, making each bloom a true visual statement. With distinguished parentage from ('Love Chant' x 'Festive Skirt') X 'Cameo Wine', Magharee is a collector-grade variety celebrated for its opalescent tones and sculptural form. Notably, Magharee is a rebloomer, with documented rebloom performance in Australia, offering dynamic, extended seasonal interest for gardeners in unknown USDA zones. Add this extraordinary iris to your collection from Amethyst Creek Farm and enjoy a bloom that is both memorable and curator-worthy—a testament to Barry Blyth’s hybridizing artistry.

Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
