Rustler (Keith Keppel, 1988) is a commanding tall bearded iris that brings a bold, gallery-worthy presence to the garden. Reaching 37″ (94 cm) in midseason, Rustler features antique gold standards flushed with faded rose, while the falls display a rich henna hue paling to antique gold at the margin. The beard glows with florida gold, tipped in chrome orange, adding a vibrant, painterly accent. With a slight sweet fragrance and a pedigree from Laredo x Dazzling Gold, this cultivar is a medal-worthy standout, honored with multiple awards including the Franklin Cook Cup and Award of Merit. Rustler’s charismatic color-forward blooms and refined form make it a collector-grade, exhibition-ready centerpiece for any landscape.Attributes: Fertile, Fragrant, Historic, RebloomerAwards: Award of Merit, Favorite Guest, Franklin Cook Cup, High Commendation, Honorable MentionRebloomerThis cultivar is a known rebloomer.Known Rebloom Zones: Zone 10Rebloom Confidence: ⭐⭐
