Siamese Kitten

Siamese Kitten (Anthony and Dorothy Willott, 1972) is a memorable SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of tan standards and rich brown falls, each fall elegantly edged in tan and finished with a vivid blue beard. Reaching 11" (28 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar is a true garden-showpiece—its color-forward design and refined stature make it a standout in any border or collector’s bed. With its heritage pedigree from Delicate Air x Blueberry Muffins, Siamese Kitten is a remarkable addition for those seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris with undeniable presence. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Guardian Garden, Historic Guardian Garden (GG) This cultivar is a Guardian Garden Iris. Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
