Sunny Disposition

Sunny Disposition (Lloyd Zurbrigg, 1989) is a radiant Tall Bearded iris that dazzles with its luminous primrose yellow petals and vibrant yellow beard. Standing at an impressive 36" (91 cm), this cultivar delivers a painterly, garden-showpiece effect, infusing borders with uplifting color and a pronounced sweet fragrance. Noteworthy for its reliable reblooming habit—even as late as October in Virginia—Sunny Disposition is a collector-grade iris with a pedigree from 'Harvest Of Memories' and 'Immortality'. Its exceptional performance is documented across a wide range of climates and USDA Zones 4–10, making it a standout choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience. A true centerpiece for any landscape, available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Guardian Garden, Historic, Rebloomer Rebloomer This cultivar is a known rebloomer.

Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
