Introducing 'Starring' — a cinematic beauty in the world of Tall Bearded Irises. With its dramatic black and white amoena coloring, this variety steals the spotlight in every garden. The pristine white standards rise like a curtain, giving way to sultry near-black falls below, all crowned by smoldering tangerine beards that add a pop of unexpected intensity.

‘Starring’ isn’t just another pretty bloom — it’s a showstopper. The striking color contrast, combined with elegant form and reliable performance, has made it a favorite among iris lovers and show judges alike. Blooming in mid to late spring, this 33-inch-tall stunner adds depth and drama to borders, beds, and bouquets.

If your garden needs a bold lead actress, Starring is ready for her close-up.
