Sun Going Down

Sun Going Down (Paul Black, 2016) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and refined form. Reaching 15.5" (39 cm) and blooming early to midseason, this cultivar features standards with a butter base seamlessly transitioning to white, the upper two-thirds artistically washed and mottled in mid tan-brown plicata. Cream style arms with mid yellow ridges and crests add a subtle elegance. The falls are a clear mid yellow, lightly plicata-marked with light brown at the edges, and the lower two-thirds are washed in luminous white. Beards transition from dark yellow gold in the throat to mid and light yellow at the tips, creating a vibrant, luminata effect. A slight musky fragrance adds to its allure. Sibling to 'It’s a Small World' and introduced by Mid-America in 2016, Sun Going Down is a captivating, color-forward addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts seeking a showpiece bloom with undeniable presence. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
