Pele

Pele (J. Terry Aitken, 1993) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its vivid, saturated orange standards and falls, dramatically accented by a deep purple spot and bold orange hafts. This 11" (28 cm) midseason to late bloomer features coral beards and a slight fragrance, making it a memorable addition to any garden. With a pedigree rooted in award-winning parentage, Pele has earned multiple accolades, including the Honorable Mention (1995), Award of Merit (1997), and the prestigious Cook-Douglas Medal (1999). Its vibrant, color-forward blooms and dynamic presence make Pele a true garden showpiece and a collector-grade standout for any iris enthusiast. Hybridized by J. Terry Aitken and introduced by Aitken’s Salmon Creek in 1993. Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant, Historic Awards: Award of Merit, Cook-Douglas Medal, Honorable Mention
