Know before you buy
The Iris Ozark Rebounder is bred to bloom twice in a single season. You can expect a primary flush of flowers in mid-to-late spring, followed by a secondary performance from late summer into early fall.
For the best bloom production, plant this iris in a location that receives full sun. It can tolerate partial shade, but you may see fewer flowers if the plant does not get enough direct light.
Yes, this variety is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. While no plant is completely immune if local wildlife is desperate, these irises are generally ignored by browsing animals.
These irises require well-drained soil to prevent root rot, as they do not like to sit in standing water. They perform best in acidic soil conditions.
When your bareroot arrives, ensure you plant it in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Position the rhizome so that the top is just barely covered by soil, as planting it too deep can inhibit blooming.
Absolutely. The Iris Ozark Rebounder makes an excellent cut flower due to its sturdy stems and striking, ruffled petals, allowing you to bring its deep purple and blue-violet colors indoors.
