Volcanic Glow

Volcanic Glow (Keith Keppel, 2012) is a commanding, award-winning tall bearded iris that electrifies the garden with its vivid, painterly color play and luminous presence. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar features aureolin yellow standards with a cedarwood flush, complemented by matching style arms. The falls are saturated zanzibar red with a velvety wash, edged narrowly in aureolin, and highlighted by a white heart and dart below the beard, all framed by a bright golden lemon edge. The beards themselves glow with white bases and golden lemon tips, accentuating the luminata pattern. With a pedigree from Montmartre x Lip Service and a decorated history—Honorable Mention 2014, Award of Merit 2016, and the John C. Wister Medal 2021—Volcanic Glow is a gallery-worthy, collector-grade iris that commands attention in any landscape. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
