Ridgecrest

Ridgecrest (Michael Sutton, 2016) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its dramatic color contrast and sculptural form. This midseason to late bloomer features creamy standards edged in yellow, luminous cream style arms, and bold, nearly black red-violet falls highlighted by a crisp white zonal around vibrant tangerine orange beards. A lighter red-violet wire edge adds painterly detail to the falls, while ruffled and serrated petals lend a dynamic, exhibition-grade presence. Ridgecrest is lightly sweetly fragrant, making it a memorable addition to any garden or collector’s bed. A true garden showpiece from Sutton’s renowned hybridizing program.
