Marrying Kind

Marrying Kind (Keith Keppel, 2014) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its sophisticated color play and refined form. Reaching 35" (89 cm) in height and blooming midseason, this award-winning variety features peach-pink standards with a delicate lavender flush along the midrib, complemented by matching peach-pink style arms and a lavender lip. The falls are a rich, medium-dark lavender, edged with a precise ¼" digitalis band, while the shoulders are subtly flushed with peach-beige. The beards are a vivid tomato red in the throat, transitioning to a white base with etruscan red tips and lavender ends, creating a painterly, color-forward effect. With its pedigree from Trade Secret, Lotus Land, and Bowled Over, Marrying Kind is a garden-showpiece and a collector-grade iris, honored with both the AIS Honorable Mention (2017) and Award of Merit (2019). A true centerpiece for any landscape, available from Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fertile Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
