North Rim

‘North Rim’ (Richard Tasco, 2018) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in the late midseason garden. Towering at 38" (97 cm), this award-winning cultivar captivates with bronze yellow standards edged in deeper tones and a light plum wash near the base. The falls are a rich ruby red, lightening toward the edge and finished with a bronze yellow rim and a dramatic plum-violet blush around the beard. Style arms glow golden yellow with plum-violet ridges and blue-violet accents, while the beard itself is a painterly blend of white, bronzed orange, and violet. Moderately ruffled petals and a pronounced sweet fragrance add to its refined, exhibition-grade presence. With a pedigree from ‘Florentine Silk’ and a lineage of celebrated parents, ‘North Rim’ is a medal-worthy, conversation-starting centerpiece for any collector or garden enthusiast. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 2021 and an Award of Merit in 2024. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
