Martian Sunset

Martian Sunset (Steve Kelly, R. 2020) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in early to midseason. Reaching 30" (76 cm), this cultivar features dark crimson standards with lighter midribs, luminous light bronze style arms, and falls that transition from white hafts to a dramatic crimson edge. A radiant, light fluorescent pink glow emanates from the gold and white-tipped beards, creating a painterly, high-contrast effect. With a slight fragrance and a pedigree from 'House Afire' X 'Dragon King', Martian Sunset is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris that has earned an Exhibition Certificate (2019), Favorite Guest Iris (2022), and Honorable Mention (2023). A true landscape centerpiece for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant Awards: Award of Merit, Exhibition Certificate, Favorite Guest, Honorable Mention
