Not Of This World

Not Of This World (Richard Tasco, 2020) is a remarkable arilbred iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color contrasts and dynamic presence in the garden. Reaching 26" (66 cm) and blooming from early to late midseason, this cultivar features luminous light purple standards and straw yellow style arms edged in brick, creating a vivid, high-contrast effect. The falls are a saturated brick red, dramatically punctuated by a large, half dollar-sized black signal, while the beards transition from white at the base to orange in the throat, with rust and brown accents for added depth. Noteworthy for its pronounced sweet fragrance, this garden-showpiece is a hybrid of Dragon’s Eye and a select seedling from All Ruffled Up x Cat’s Eye, introduced by Superstition in 2021. Not Of This World is a true centerpiece for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a singular, unforgettable bloom with pedigree-worthy appeal. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
