Know before you buy
Unlike standard varieties that bloom only once, the 'Harvest of Memories' iris is genetically capable of producing a second flush of flowers in the fall after its initial spring display. To encourage this second bloom, ensure the plant receives consistent sunlight and adequate moisture throughout the summer.
These irises require well-drained soil to prevent the rhizomes from rotting. If your garden has heavy clay, consider amending the soil with organic matter or planting in raised beds to improve drainage.
For optimal growth and air circulation, space your rhizomes 12 to 24 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants to spread naturally without becoming overcrowded over time.
Yes, bearded irises are generally avoided by deer due to their texture and taste. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high deer traffic.
Absolutely. The 'Harvest of Memories' makes an excellent cut flower, with stems lasting up to a week in a vase. For the longest vase life, cut the stems when the buds are just beginning to show color.
These rhizomes should be planted in the fall. This timing allows the roots to establish themselves in the soil before the plant goes dormant for the winter, ensuring a strong start for the following spring.
