Bearded Iris 'Vigilante' Rhizome – Bold Black-Maroon & Yellow Iris | 34" Tall Variegatad

Not all garden heroes wear capes—some bloom in quiet power. Meet ‘Vigilante’, a Tall Bearded Iris with an intense presence that commands attention without ever shouting. Its velvety black-maroon falls flare dramatically, ruffled at the edges and rich in depth, while the buttercup-caramel standards rise above in warm golden contrast.

This striking variegata variety produces 8–13 flowers per plant on strong, elegant stems with both double- and triple-socketed buds, making it not only eye-catching, but also incredibly prolific. Midseason bloomers like ‘Vigilante’ offer reliable, high-impact color when your spring garden is in full swing.

An award-winner that’s equally suited for bold borders and dramatic bouquets, ‘Vigilante’ is the perfect choice for gardeners who appreciate moody tones, refined elegance, and unique color pairings.
