Return Of Innocence

Return Of Innocence (George Sutton, 2001) is a breathtaking Tall Bearded iris that exudes refined sophistication and garden prestige. Standing at an impressive 37" (94 cm), this extraordinary cultivar dazzles with lavishly ruffled white petals touched by a delicate butterfly blue cast, creating a luminous, opalescent glow in the landscape. Its pristine beards—white with a hint of pale yellow in the throat—add a gentle warmth to its elegant palette. Noteworthy for its early to midseason bloom and reliable reblooming habit, Return Of Innocence is both fertile and a proven performer in USDA Zones 5a and 9, with rebloom reported in California and Wisconsin. A slight sweet fragrance enhances its allure, making it a collector-grade centerpiece for any garden. With a distinguished pedigree—('Bonus Mama' x 'Zurich') crossed with ('Mesmerizer' x 'Silverado')—this iris is a true showpiece for those seeking a memorable, exhibition-worthy bloom.
