Bred by renowned hybridizer Keith Keppel and introduced in 2019, Easter Charm is a graceful Tall Bearded Iris that captures the essence of springtime. The upright petals (standards) are a soft, medium light blue, gently shading to a light chartreuse-yellow at the edges. The downward petals (falls) are a warm white, adorned with a narrow yellow band—more prominent on the right edge—and shoulders that transition from citron yellow to aureolin. The beards are white, tipped with yellow, adding a cheerful focal point to the bloom. With moderate ruffling and a height of 30 inches, Easter Charm blooms in the early to midseason and has been recognized with an Honorable Mention in 2021 and an Award of Merit in 2023.
