DESCRIPTION
Iris 'Rasputin' produces richly colored flowers with soft peach-colored standards, velvety plum-purple falls, and bright tangerine beards, blooming in late spring. Upright, sword-like leaves are blue-green and provide strong vertical structure. The flowers are carried on sturdy stems above the foliage, with broad, gently ruffled petals and subtle veining that add texture and depth during bloom. The vibrant beards provide a warm accent that highlights the darker tones of the falls.

Originating through modern hybrid breeding, this cultivar reflects selection focused on saturated color and refined flower form. It is well suited to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings, where its late spring bloom and architectural foliage contribute lasting seasonal interest and visual appeal.
