Iris Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking fragrant, multi-season white blooms.
Iris Immortality is an award-winning, tall bearded reblooming iris known for its heavy flowering in late spring/early summer and again in late summer/early fall. This variety features showy, pure-white flowers with ruffled petals and creamy white to pale yellow beards, emitting a highly fragrant scent. The blooms sit atop strong, well-branched stems, reaching 2 to 3 feet tall at maturity, and are excellent as cut flowers. As a hardy, herbaceous perennial, it spreads slowly via a rhizomatous root system, making it easy to grow and virtually trouble-free in mixed beds and borders. It attracts pollinators, especially butterflies, to the garden.

Know before you buy
Unlike standard irises that bloom only once in spring, the Immortality variety is bred to flower twice. You can expect a heavy flush of blooms in late spring or early summer, followed by a second round of flowers in late summer or early fall.
Plant your bareroot rhizomes just below the soil surface, ensuring the top of the rhizome is slightly exposed to the sun. They prefer well-drained soil and should be spaced about two feet apart to allow for their mature width.
Yes, the foliage and flowers of the Iris Immortality are generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high pest pressure.
To support the second round of flowers, keep the soil consistently moist during the summer months and remove spent flower stalks after the first bloom cycle. Providing a balanced fertilizer in early spring can also help provide the energy needed for repeat flowering.
Absolutely. The strong, well-branched stems are excellent for cutting, and the pure-white, ruffled flowers provide a classic, fragrant addition to indoor bouquets.
The Iris Immortality is hardy in zones 3 through 9. This wide range makes them suitable for most climates in the United States, provided they are planted in a location with good drainage and adequate sunlight.
