Tutenstein

Tutenstein (Hugh Stout, 2020) is a remarkable SDB iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of byzantium and montbatten violet standards, complemented by luminous white style arms fading to lemon chiffon. The falls echo the standards, featuring a dramatic white heart around the beard, yellow shoulders, and a bold white dart extending down the petal, punctuated by a vivid blue-violet blaze. The beard is a captivating mix of white-based hairs tipped in amber-gold, adding a touch of brilliance. Early midseason blooms stand at 12.5" (32 cm) and offer a slight sweet fragrance, making Tutenstein a memorable addition to any garden. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2024, this cultivar is a testament to Stout Gardens’ artistry and pedigree, and is available from Amethyst Creek Farm. Parentage: 'Quench' X 'Candlemas'.
