Shadow Bands

Shadow Bands (Thomas Johnson, 2019) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, high-contrast color play and refined form. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar features milk glass white standards dramatically infused with lemon yellow at the center, complemented by luminous lemon style arms. The plush burgundy falls are punctuated by a vivid yellow sunburst around the beard, which glows from yellow to orange. With a sweet fragrance and a pedigree as a sibling to Risk Taker X Hard To Resist, Shadow Bands is a garden-showpiece and a true conversation starter. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2021, this Mid-America introduction is a standout addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris.
