Power Ballad (Michael Sutton, 2023) is a commanding tall bearded iris reaching 36″ (91.5 cm), introduced by Suttons Iris Gardens. This late-blooming, sweetly fragrant variety captivates with its dramatic color play: luminous white standards with a yellow-orange flush up the midrib, yellow-orange style arms, and a touch of lavender at the crest. The falls are a vivid medium violet, lighter around the beard, and beautifully ruffled for a sculptural, gallery-worthy effect. Beards feature a white base tipped in orange, adding a bold accent. With its memorable presence and pedigree from Magical X Arrivederci, Power Ballad is a show garden quality, field-stopping addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
