Too Mixed Up

Too Mixed Up (Paul Black, 2022) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly, high-contrast patterning and dynamic presence in the garden. Reaching 30" (76 cm) and blooming midseason to late, this cultivar features crisp white standards dramatically splashed, streaked, and segmented with mid-violet, complemented by light buff peach style arms. The falls echo the white base with buff hafts and an extraordinary display of random mid-violet streaks, mottling, and segments. Tangerine beards glow in the throat and middle, fading to light lavender at the tips, while a pronounced spicy fragrance adds sensory appeal. Bred from Big Break X Break In and introduced by Mid-America in 2022, Too Mixed Up is a conversation-starting, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a bold, graphic statement in their landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant
