Jealous Halo (John Painter, 2004) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its clean white standards edged in bright yellow and a lower midrib touched with yellow. The falls are luminous white, accented by a narrow yellow edge on the underside, while vivid red-orange beards transition to white and yellow at the base, creating a dramatic, high-contrast effect. Standing at 37″ (94 cm) and blooming midseason, this cultivar is a true garden showpiece—memorable for its sculptural form and painterly color play. Bred from ‘Jolt’ x ‘Pedigree’ and introduced by Napa Country in 2005, Jealous Halo earned an Honorable Mention in 2009, underscoring its pedigree-worthy appeal and exhibition-grade presence.Attributes: Edge TrimAwards: Honorable Mention
