Thin Blue Line

Thin Blue Line (George Sutton, 1998) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly, high-contrast color pattern and refined form. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming in the early midseason, this cultivar features luminous white standards dramatically accented by union jack blue (RHS 99A) dots, lines, and a bold 2" edge. The style arms are white, artfully mottled with blue, while the falls are crisp white edged with a 1/4" stippled blue border and broken blue veins, creating a graphic, statement-making effect. White beards are delicately dotted blue, with hairs tipped yellow in the throat, adding a touch of intrigue. Ruffled petals and a slight sweet fragrance enhance its garden-showpiece appeal. Thin Blue Line has also been reported to rebloom in some regions, making it a noteworthy choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a dynamic, conversation-starting addition to their beds. Hybridized by George Sutton and introduced in 1999, this iris is a testament to pedigree-worthy breeding and visual artistry.
