Pixie Flirt

Pixie Flirt is a charming miniature dwarf bearded iris introduced by Anthony and Dorothy Willott in 1989. This late midseason bloomer stands at 7.5" (19 cm) and features elegantly ruffled white standards delicately stitched with red violet and accented by a green midrib dotted red violet. The red violet styles and white falls, narrowly stitched in red violet, create a refined, intricate pattern. A cream beard tipped in red violet adds further detail. Pixie Flirt is a celebrated variety, having received the High Commendation in 1988, Honorable Mention in 1991, and Award of Merit in 1995. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Guardian Garden, Historic, Ruffled, Speckled, Veining Awards: Award of Merit, High Commendation, Honorable Mention Guardian Garden (GG) This cultivar is a Guardian Garden Iris. Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
