Know before you buy
A reblooming iris has the ability to produce a second flush of flowers after its initial spring bloom. The Califlora Eternal Bliss typically flowers in the spring and again in late summer or fall, provided it receives adequate care.
Bearded iris rhizomes should be planted shallowly, with the top of the rhizome just beneath or even level with the soil surface. Planting them too deep can prevent the plant from blooming or cause the rhizome to rot.
These irises are hardy in zones 3 through 10. However, please note that the reblooming feature is most reliable in zones 5 through 10, where the growing season is long enough to support a second cycle of flowers.
Yes, this variety is considered deer and rabbit resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, the texture and taste of bearded irises are generally unappealing to them.
For the best performance and flower production, plant these in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. At least six hours of direct sunlight daily is recommended to ensure strong stems and consistent reblooming.
Space your iris rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which is essential for keeping the plants healthy and preventing common issues like rot.
