Color Fling (Painter, 2016) TB

Color Fling is a lively tall bearded iris introduced by John Painter in 2016, growing to about 32 inches and blooming midseason. Bright yellow standards create a sunny contrast above richly colored orchid-purple falls. The falls show red shoulders that soften and lighten toward the edges, blending into yellow tones for a dramatic multicolor effect. Style arms echo the palette with yellow upper portions and orchid-purple lower sections. Marigold beards glow at the center of the bloom, and the flowers carry a light musky fragrance. Bred from Hearts on Fire crossed with Moroccan Magic, this variety brings bold color play and strong garden presence.
