Spiced Up

Spiced Up (Michael Sutton, 2022) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color play and dynamic patterning. Reaching 34" (86 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this cultivar features dark ruby red standards and falls, both dramatically streaked and splashed with vibrant yellow and occasional flashes of white. The ruby red style arms are also streaked yellow, while golden yellow beards add a luminous accent. A slight spicy fragrance enhances its appeal. Bred from Spiced Tiger X Tuscan Summer, Spiced Up is a vivid, pattern-forward standout—perfect for gardeners seeking a showpiece with undeniable presence and pedigree.
