Queen’s Circle (Kerr, 1999) TB FCC FG HM AM WM DM

Queen’s Circle is a tall bearded iris introduced by Frederick Kerr in 1999, blooming midseason to late at about 32 inches. Pristine white standards rise above white falls crisply edged in deep blue, creating one of the most refined and dramatic blue-rimmed patterns in modern iris breeding. Orange-red beards tipped pale yellow provide bold contrast at the heart of the bloom. Bred from Victoria Circle × Christiana Baker, this heavily awarded classic earned Franklin Cook Cups, multiple Favorite Guest honors, Honorable Mention, Award of Merit, the Wister Medal, and the American Dykes Medal. Rebloom has been reported in California.
