Rocket Fuel

Rocket Fuel (Sutton, 2017) is a commanding tall bearded iris that lives up to its name with a dynamic, high-contrast color display. Reaching 37" (94 cm) and blooming early to late, this award-winning cultivar features luminous chinese yellow standards and orange-buff style arms. The falls showcase a painterly blend: a vibrant orange-buff central zone transitions into a dramatic greyed red band with black influences, all edged by a ¼" greyed orange rim. Bold orange beards and serrated petal edges add to its arresting presence. With a pedigree from Fruit Stripe X Bottle Rocket and accolades including the AIS Award of Merit (2022), Rocket Fuel is a show garden centerpiece and a must-have for collectors seeking a memorable, exhibition-grade iris. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
