Outside the Lines

Outside the Lines (Roger Duncan, 2020) is a phenomenal Tall Bearded Iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in the garden. Towering at 38" (97 cm), this midseason to late bloomer features glowing amber yellow standards with a subtle salmon influence and lighter centers, accented by textured midrib veining. The style arms echo the amber yellow, while the falls showcase a luminous light pink-orange ground, boldly overlaid with dramatic red-purple veining that intensifies around the plush, bright red beards. An amber yellow rim frames the falls, enhancing its painterly, graphic appeal. Heavily ruffled petals and a slight fragrance add to its refined, exhibition-grade presence. Bred from Center Line x Cotillion Gown and honored with an Honorable Mention in 2022, Outside the Lines is a true conversation-starting centerpiece for any landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant, Ruffled, Veining Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
