Rustic Dream

Rich and radiant, Rustic Dream is a bearded iris that brings the warmth of a late autumn afternoon into the garden. Its deeply saturated amber and coppery petals glow in the sunlight, with fiery undertones that make it ideal for earthy, naturalistic plantings. This cultivar feels right at home in rustic gardens, Mediterranean palettes, or as a dramatic contrast against cool greys and weathered timbers. Pair it with native grasses, bronze-toned foliage, or blue blooms to draw out its bold yet grounded personality. One of the most effective irises for adding seasonal depth and textural richness.
