Purple Pepper

Purple Pepper (D. C. Nearpass, 1986) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly color play and refined form. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming midseason, this award-winning cultivar features soft lavender blue standards delicately dotted at the center, contrasted by luminous white falls dramatically peppered with blue-violet. Lightly ruffled petals and a light yellow beard add to its sculptural, gallery-worthy appeal. With a pedigree that includes Dancer’s Veil and Easy Street, Purple Pepper is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a vivid, conversation-starting centerpiece for the garden. Honored with High Commendation (1983), Honorable Mention (1988), and Award of Merit (1992). Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
