Plum Twist

‘Plum Twist’ (Thomas Johnson, 2003) is a captivating SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and refined form. Reaching 12" (31 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this memorable variety features light to medium orchid standards with dramatic veining, violet blue style arms edged in white, and crests of orchid. The medium claret falls are accented by a bluer zone around the beard, paler edges, and a bold blue dart at the beard’s end, all enhanced by darker veining. Ruffled petals and a pronounced sweet fragrance add to its garden-showpiece appeal. With a pedigree from ‘Neutron’ x ‘Jeweler’s Art’, ‘Plum Twist’ is a field-stopping, Honorable Mention winner (2006) that brings both visual drama and aromatic delight to any collection.
