Ruffled Copper Sunset

‘Ruffled Copper Sunset’ (James Gibson, 1988) is a tall bearded iris that commands attention with its extraordinary, painterly color palette and sculptural form. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this memorable variety features greyed orange standards, softly blushed and veined with greyed purple, while the falls showcase a rich greyed orange ground accented by a crisp white signal and a 1/2" greyed red plicata band. Reddish brown hafts and a bold orange-red beard add further depth and drama. With its gallery-worthy coloration and dynamic presence, ‘Ruffled Copper Sunset’ is a collector-grade, Honorable Mention-winning iris that makes a vivid, show garden statement. Hybridized by James Gibson and introduced by Cooley’s Gardens in 1993. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Historic, Ruffled, Veining Awards: Honorable Mention
