Just Crazy

Hybridized by Barry Blyth, 2007

Just Crazy, a captivating Tall Bearded Iris, was hybridized by Barry Blyth and registered in 2007. It was introduced in the same year, showcasing its remarkable qualities to iris enthusiasts. This perennial beauty stands at a registered height of 36 inches (91 cm). Blooming during the early to midseason, Just Crazy displays bubble ruffled flower forms that add texture and flair to its overall appearance. The bloom color classification includes tones of tan and peach, creating a warm and inviting palette. The light coffee to coffee honey standards provide a subtle yet charming backdrop, while the falls exhibit a slightly deeper color than the standards, adorned with deeper coffee-brown veins that contribute to its overall allure. The beard of Just Crazy is a stunning combination of tangerine bronze in the throat and lavender-tipped coffee bronze at the end. This intricate coloration enhances the visual impact of the flowers and adds a touch of elegance. Just Crazy is a fragrant iris, exuding a musky scent that further enhances the sensory experience when in bloom. Its captivating fragrance adds another layer of delight to the already stunning display of colors. This iris variety thrives as a perennial plant, adapting well to full sun or partial shade conditions. It can tolerate a slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline soil pH level. With a minimum cold hardiness of Zone 3 (-40 °C/-40 °F) and a maximum recommended zone of Zone 9b, Just Crazy can be grown in a wide range of climates. Just Crazy is a tetraploid iris, representing its genetic composition. It was bred from the parentage of Chardonnay and Ice X Reckless in Denim, combining the desirable traits and characteristics of these parent plants. The prolific nature of Just Crazy is evident in its 42 child plants, which inherit its remarkable qualities and serve as a testament to its success as a parent iris. With its showy and fragrant flowers, striking color combination, and reliable perennial nature, Just Crazy is an exceptional addition to any garden or iris collection. It brings joy and beauty with its presence, making it a favorite among iris enthusiasts and a delightful focal point in the landscape.
