Sidekick

Sidekick (Paul Black, 2018) is a commanding tall bearded iris that delivers a gallery-worthy display in the garden. Reaching 38" (97 cm), this midseason to very late bloomer captivates with luminous light slate-tan standards touched by a violet haze and edged in a silver-tan crystalline rim. The sculptural style arms feature tan-gold ridges with mid lilac accents, while the falls showcase a rich mid-dark lilac, framed by a narrow slate-tan band and a shimmering silver-tan edge. Mid olive to amber hafts with lighter cream veins and bold mid-dark sienna gold beards add further depth and artistry. A sibling to Nostalgic Memory, Sidekick is a remarkable, pedigree-worthy iris—ideal for collectors and those seeking a dramatic, centerpiece-quality addition to their landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Veining
