Spun Candy

Spun Candy (Donald Spoon, 2006) is a gallery-worthy Tall Bearded iris that brings a refined, painterly flair to the garden. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming from midseason to late, this cultivar captivates with its ruffled form and luminous color play. The standards and style arms are a delicate baby ribbon pink, accented by a subtle lavender base and midrib, while the falls mirror this soft pink, dramatically enlivened by lavender splashes on the hafts and shoulders. Intricate lavender veins and dots beside the beard add a graphic, artful detail. The beards themselves are a dynamic gradient—lavender at the tip, transitioning to tangerine pink in the middle, and deepening to a richer tangerine-pink in the throat. With a slight sweet fragrance and a broken color pattern, each bloom feels one-of-a-kind. Spun Candy is a collector-grade, exhibition-ready iris bred from Baboon Bottom x Little John. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Novelty, Ruffled, Space Age, Veining
