Velvet Moon

Velvet Moon (Kimberly Rieniets, 2020) is a dazzling SDB iris that radiates with painterly artistry and bold color. Reaching 11.5" (29 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features luminous aniline purple standards delicately veined with tyrian purple at the base, while the style arms echo the same rich hue with a crisp white foundation. The falls are a deep midnight purple, intensified by dramatic center veining and a velvet finish, with graphic white and tyrian purple veining at the base and haft, all edged in vibrant tyrian purple. The beards are a dynamic accent—white tipped yellow in the throat, shifting to blue-white tipped yellow toward the ends. A subtle spicy fragrance adds an extra layer of allure. Velvet Moon is a gallery-worthy, collector-grade iris that brings a vivid, high-contrast statement to any garden. Unknown parentage. Constant Gardener 2021 field. Attributes: Fragrant, Smooth
