Select Circle

Select Circle (Joseph Ghio, 1996) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its dramatic, high-contrast patterning and bold presence in the garden. Reaching 38" (97 cm) and blooming from early to late season, Select Circle features sculptural standards of blackish plum, intricately dotted and stitched on a crisp white background. The falls are luminous white, edged with the same blackish plum dotting and stitching, creating a graphic, gallery-worthy effect. Brick-red beards, tipped with purple, add a vivid accent. With a pedigree that includes Epicenter and Somersault siblings, this award-winning iris (Honorable Mention 1999, Award of Merit 2003) is a true show garden centerpiece and a collector-grade addition for any iris enthusiast. No noted fragrance or rebloom. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fertile, Historic, Speckled Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
