Know before you buy
A reblooming iris produces a primary flush of flowers in the spring and a second, reliable show of blooms from late summer through fall. To encourage this second cycle, ensure the plant receives consistent moisture and full sun during the growing season.
Plant the rhizomes so that the top of the root structure is just beneath the soil line. It is important not to bury them too deeply, as the top of the rhizome actually prefers to be exposed to the sun to prevent rot.
These irises are hardy perennials suitable for zones 3 through 10. While they will grow in all these zones, they are specifically capable of reblooming in zones 5 through 10.
For optimal growth and air circulation, space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants to spread naturally without becoming overcrowded.
Yes, these irises are considered deer- and rabbit-resistant. The texture and scent of the foliage and blooms are generally unappealing to these animals, making them a safer choice for gardens prone to wildlife browsing.
While they thrive in full sun, they are adaptable and will tolerate light or partial shade. For the best bloom production, aim for a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
