Prairie Gold

Prairie Gold is a tall bearded iris introduced by Hans Peter Sass in 1926. This late midseason bloomer features a rich yellow color, classified as Y4M, and is the result of a cross between Mrs. Neubronner and an unknown parent. Prairie Gold is valued for its vibrant golden tones and reliable garden performance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Guardian Garden, Historic 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.
