Westpointer

Westpointer (George Sutton, 2001) is a singular Tall Bearded iris that brings a gallery-worthy presence to any garden. Reaching 35" (89 cm) and blooming from midseason to late, this cultivar features refined satinwood standards (RHS 164C) with a subtle aster violet wash along the midrib, complemented by matching satinwood style arms for a cohesive, upscale look. The falls are a dramatic violet (86C/D), richly veined in deeper tones (86A), and finished with a bold 1" almond shell (165B) edge, creating a high-contrast, graphic effect. Its beards are satinwood with a faint violet base, leading to a unique 1 1/2" violet arm and a petite 1/2" satinwood spoon, giving Westpointer its celebrated novelty and space-age flair. Ruffled form, a slight sweet fragrance, and a pedigree from Brandy X Sky Hooks add to its collector-grade appeal. Honored with an AIS Honorable Mention in 2005, Westpointer is a field-stopping, exhibition-ready iris for those seeking a statement-making bloom. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm.
