Tall Bearded Iris 'Splashacata': A 1997 Tasco Introduction

Tall Bearded Iris 'Splashacata' is a vivacious cultivar introduced in 1997 by hybridizer Tasco. Its name suggests a splashy, festive display, and its flowers deliver a carnival of color.

Splashy Color Festival

'Splashacata' features large, heavily ruffled flowers with a white ground color wildly splashed, streaked, and speckled with bright purple and gold. The pattern is exuberant and chaotic in the best way. The beard is orange. Stems are 36 to 40 inches, strong, well-branched, with 7-9 buds.

Garden Party

This iris is vigorous and floriferous. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. 'Splashacata' increases well and turns the garden into a party. Its high-energy pattern makes it a focal point and a favorite for those who love broken-color irises.

Tasco's Splashy Style

Tasco specialized in broken-color and splash-patterned irises. 'Splashacata', introduced in 1997, is a quintessential example of this joyful, splashy style.
