The Statement Makers Collection

The Statement Makers Collection is a curated selection of irises chosen for their bold color contrasts, intricate patterning, and unmistakable presence in the garden. Each variety offers a distinct visual voice—whether through painterly veining, luminous color pairings, sculptural form, or rare novelty traits—creating a collection that feels expressive, dynamic, and truly one-of-a-kind.

From the soft, luminous peach tones and space-age elegance of ‘Love In The Air’ to the high-contrast brilliance of ‘Out Loud’, the warm, honeyed glow of ‘Heaven For Bees’, the intricate, gallery-like detailing of ‘Crow’s Feet’, and the electrifying, multi-layered artistry of ‘Dazzle Jazz’, this collection is designed for those who want their garden to stand out.

With blooms spanning early midseason through late season—including rebloom potential—plus a blend of fragrance, ruffling, and collector-grade pedigree, the Statement Makers Collection delivers continuous interest and unforgettable visual impact. These are irises that don’t just bloom—they perform.
