Threshold

Threshold (Melba Hamblen, 1967) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its luminous lobelia blue blooms (RHS violet-blue 91B) and a lighter center area in the falls, accentuated by a vivid red-orange beard. Standing at 34" (86 cm) and blooming early in the season, Threshold is a garden-showpiece with a pedigree that includes Fashion Show, Mary Randall, Pink Enchantment, Melodrama, and other legendary varieties. This cultivar’s vibrant, color-forward presence and refined form earned it a High Commendation in 1967 and an Honorable Mention in 1972. A memorable addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-grade iris with undeniable visual impact. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
