  • TB 'Rustler' bloomed at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, zone 4b, approximately May 31 - June 16, in 2017. -- HollyJohnson2017 -04-01 - 30 Sep 2017
  • One of the finest cultivars ever introduced. Weak on branching, but superb in all other traits. -- WikiGuest - 24 Jan 2018
  • Does anyone know how many blooms this iris gets on each plant? -- WikiGuest - 07 Nov 2021
  • It has a sheen on its falls that is quite alluring and is a result of a violet veining from anthocyanin. This is not something that I see mentioned but is an outstanding feature of this magnificent TB. I find that its' branching and bud/flower sequence to be very strong here in my garden on Gabriola in the southern Gulf islands of BC. Not sure why it has languished in the awards arena these last 30 years. Seems top notch to me. -- WikiGuest - 10 Nov 2023
  • One of the parents, Dazzling Gold, also snagged an AM and they say in its introduction that, “Stems are wonderfully branched and for us the plant vigor is indomitable.” (Melrose Gardens 1981). -- GrahameWare - 10 Nov 2023
