Summer Shadow

Summer Shadow (Keith Keppel, 2011) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its luminous chrome lemon standards and style arms, complemented by matching falls edged in a dramatic 3/4" to 1" band of warm brownish rose. The vivid, color-forward blooms are further accentuated by beards that glow even deeper and brighter than golden glow, creating a painterly, gallery-worthy effect in the garden. Standing at 36" and blooming midseason, this sibling to Bold Vision X Gypsy Lord is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2013, Summer Shadow is a true landscape centerpiece with undeniable presence. Awards: Honorable Mention
