Iris 'Girl Gone Wild'

Girl Gone Wild Iris

Iris 'Girl Gone Wild' is a tall bearded iris with colorful, ruffled flowers that bloom in midseason. The standards blend warm peach with golden-yellow highlights, while the creamy yellow falls are covered with prominent burgundy veining that radiates outward from the center and becomes increasingly dense toward the outer petals. A golden-yellow band frames each fall, and bright orange beards add another warm accent. The flowers have a musky fragrance.

Design tip

Position 'Girl Gone Wild' near a path or seating area where its detailed fall markings can be appreciated. From farther away, the flowers read predominantly warm, so nearby blue or violet blooms can provide contrast without competing with their intricate pattern.
