Rock Star

Rock Star (Monty Byers, 1990) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that brings a bold, painterly flair to the garden. Reaching 30" (86 cm) and blooming in the early midseason, this cultivar features apricot orange standards dramatically overlaid with red violet mottling, while the falls echo the apricot base with a medium red violet stitched edge and deeper, intricate haft markings. The beards glow in red orange, tipped with a light orange horn speckled in red violet, adding a touch of whimsy to its heavily ruffled, sculptural form. With a slight sweet fragrance and a robust reblooming habit reported in CA, IA, NE, WA, and England (USDA Zones 4, 5, 6, 8, 9), Rock Star is a collector-grade, conversation-starting centerpiece. Honored with an Honorable Mention in 1994 and bred from Lovebird X Gigolo, this iris is a true field-stopper for any curated landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
