Masai Warrior

Masai Warrior (Francis Rogers, 1998) is a commanding tall bearded iris that brings a bold, color-forward presence to the early garden. Reaching 30" (76 cm), this remarkable cultivar features oxblood red standards and hazelnut brown style arms, contrasted by plum purple falls with a dramatic white spray pattern beside the beard and a yellow spray on the haft. The beards glow in indian yellow, all set off by ruffled petals and a slight fragrance. With its painterly patterning and dynamic color contrasts, Masai Warrior is a memorable, exhibition-grade addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Parentage: Chippewa Brave X Gallant Rogue. Introduced by Meadowbrook in 1999. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Ruffled
