Rumor Has It

Rumor Has It (Thomas Johnson, 2012) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, graphic patterning and late to very late bloom season. Reaching 36" (91 cm), this cultivar features luminous white standards edged with a wide, vivid blue-purple plicata band and a dramatic line up the midrib. The falls mirror the standards, enhanced by a striking, boldly striped center line. Vibrant orange beards tipped with violet add a captivating pop of color, while a slight fragrance lends an extra touch of refinement. Bred from Ink Patterns X Sorbonne pod parent sibling, this Mid-America introduction earned an Honorable Mention in 2014. A true garden showpiece, Rumor Has It is a collector-grade iris with undeniable presence and pedigree-worthy appeal. Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant, Striped Awards: Honorable Mention
