Iris ‘Webmaster’ is a striking Tall Bearded Iris known for its unique and bold color combination. This variety showcases large, vibrant blooms with smooth, velvety petals in shades of rich purple and blue. The standards are typically a deep royal purple, while the falls exhibit a captivating blend of violet and blue, with intricate veining that adds texture and depth to its overall appearance. Bright yellow or golden beards further enhance the color contrast, creating a visually appealing and dynamic flower. The ruffled edges of the petals add a touch of elegance to the dramatic look of this iris.

Once established, it is also drought-tolerant, making it a hardy and reliable choice for various garden settings.
