Tall Bearded Iris 'Corn Harvest': A 1974 Wyatt Introduction

Tall Bearded Iris 'Corn Harvest' is a richly colored cultivar introduced in 1974 by hybridizer Wyatt. Its name evokes the golden hues of autumn harvest, and its flowers deliver a warm, bountiful display.

Golden Bounty

'Corn Harvest' produces large, ruffled flowers with standards of a deep, rich gold and falls of a slightly lighter, buttery yellow with a white haft and a deep orange beard. The color is intensely saturated, glowing like ripe corn in the sun. Stems are 36 to 40 inches, strong, well-branched, with 7-9 buds.

Garden Abundance

This iris is a vigorous, reliable bloomer. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. 'Corn Harvest' increases rapidly and forms large, floriferous clumps that create a spectacular mass of gold in spring. It is hardy and disease-resistant.
