Undercurrent

Undercurrent (Keith Keppel, 2004) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of color and dynamic presence. Reaching 42" (107 cm) and blooming in the late midseason, this award-winning variety features standards in creamy vanilla, subtly transitioning to more yellow style arms. The falls are a luminous peach yellow, adorned with a texture-veined tan yellow sunburst and a dramatic greyed heliotrope wash radiating inward from the edge. Vivid firecracker red beards add a bold, unforgettable accent. With a slight sweet fragrance and a pedigree from Prince George x Rio, Undercurrent is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a garden showpiece with undeniable charisma. Honored with the AIS Award of Merit (2008) and Honorable Mention (2006). Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Fertile, Fragrant, Veining Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
