Splashacata

Splashacata (Richard Tasco, 1997) is a truly extraordinary Tall Bearded iris, celebrated for its painterly, high-contrast display and decorated pedigree. Reaching 35" (89 cm) in midseason, Splashacata features pallid violet standards and style arms with a deeper midrib, while the falls dazzle with a crisp white ground lavishly peppered in vivid purple dots, intensifying toward the ruffled, dramatic edge. The beards are white with a pale violet cast at the tip and golden yellow-tipped hairs, adding a refined, luxe detail. A rebloomer in USDA Zone 9, Splashacata offers dynamic, extended color in the garden. Its lineage—'Purple Pepper' crossed with a seedling from 'Snowbrook' x Jesse's Song—has produced a cultivar that has earned top honors, including the Honorable Mention (2000), Award of Merit (2002), Wister Medal (2004), and the prestigious American Dykes Medal (2005). With its opalescent hues, bold patterning, and lightly ruffled form, Splashacata is a gallery-worthy, collector-grade centerpiece—perfect for those seeking a singular, award-winning iris with both pedigree and personality.
