Huckleberry Fudge (James Gibson by Cooleys Gardens, 1996) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its bold, painterly color contrast and refined form. Reaching 35″ (89 cm) in midseason, this award-winning variety features warm chocolate brown standards (RHS 183B) above crisp white falls, dramatically edged with chocolate brown and violet blue plicata markings (near 94C). The mustard beards (near 163B) add a sophisticated accent, while the ruffled petals lend a sculptural, gallery-worthy presence to any garden. With a pedigree that includes Inspiration Point and Chestnut Beauty siblings, Huckleberry Fudge is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for collectors and those seeking a showpiece bloom with undeniable charisma. Honored with the AIS Honorable Mention (1999) and Award of Merit (2002). No noted rebloom or fragrance.
