Know before you buy
Unlike standard iris varieties that bloom only once, the Victoria Falls Bearded Iris is bred to produce a second flush of flowers. You can expect a primary display in late spring and a secondary, reliable bloom in early fall.
For optimal growth and air circulation, space your rhizomes 12 to 24 inches apart. This spacing accounts for the mature size of the plant and helps prevent overcrowding as the iris clumps expand over time.
The Victoria Falls Bearded Iris is highly adaptable, with a hardiness range covering zones 3 through 10. This makes it a versatile choice for most gardens across the United States, provided they receive adequate sunlight.
Yes, these irises are naturally resistant to deer. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and scent of the Bearded Iris are generally unappealing to deer, making them a safer choice for gardens in high-traffic wildlife areas.
To ensure vigorous blooming and strong stems, these irises require full sun. This means at least six to eight hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day.
Absolutely. Their long, sturdy stems and highly fragrant, cascading blue-purple petals make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.
