First Nation (Shadlow, 2017) TB

First Nation (Robin Shadlow, 2017), Seedling 03-11N3, is a tall bearded iris growing to approximately 34 inches and blooming midseason, offering bold contrast and evolving color in the garden. Standards are clear lemon yellow with a faint narrow magenta line along the midribs, echoed by lemon yellow style arms, while the falls open rich magenta that gradually blends lighter toward the outer inch of the petal and intensifies over several days; a crisp white marking at the beard and a fine magenta wire rim edge add sharp definition, with bright orange beards providing warmth at the center. Bred from Class Ring × Treasure Trader and introduced by Iris Sisters in 2018, this modern cultivar delivers dynamic color movement and strong visual impact in bloom.
