Queen Empress

Queen Empress (Bruce Filardi, 2007) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in the late midseason garden. Reaching 32" (81 cm), this cultivar features luminous white standards and style arms, contrasted by white falls dramatically sanded with rich plum—intensifying from the golden yellow beard outward to the edge. A crisp 1/8" white rim and pencil-thin dark border add graphic definition, while bright yellow shoulders and golden beards provide a vivid focal point. With a slight sweet fragrance and a refined, painterly pattern, Queen Empress is a memorable, pedigree-worthy addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Parentage: Venetian Love X Puccini. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fragrant
