Know before you buy
This variety is bred to produce a primary flush of flowers in the spring and a second, reliable display of blooms from late summer into fall. In warmer climates, you can expect this extended color season, provided the plant receives adequate sunlight and care.
Plant the rhizomes shallowly, with the top of the rhizome sitting just beneath the soil line. Covering them too deeply can prevent the plant from blooming or cause the rhizome to rot.
The Jurassic Bearded Iris is hardy in zones 3 through 10. While they will grow in the colder end of that range, the reblooming feature is most consistent in zones 5 through 10 where the growing season is longer.
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.
These irises perform best in full to partial sun. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and require only moderate to low water, making them a low-maintenance choice for many garden beds.
Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for the plants to spread and ensures proper air circulation, which is essential for keeping the foliage healthy.
