What customers say
Customers highly praise the quality of the 'Beverly Sills' Bearded Iris, noting the excellent health and size of the rhizomes upon arrival. Packaging is robust, leading to quick plant establishment. The initial spring blooms are consistently described as stunning, showcasing a vibrant coral pink. The primary point of discussion centers on the reblooming feature. Gardeners in ideal climates who experience the second flush rate this iris exceptionally high as a multi season performer. However, some disappointment arises when the autumn rebloom does not occur in the first year, often due to environmental factors or plant maturity. Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive regarding the initial beauty and reliable quality of the plant material.
Know before you buy
This variety is genetically capable of producing a second flush of flowers. You can expect blooms in the spring, followed by another round of fragrant, coral-pink flowers from late summer into the fall.
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 thrive.
The Beverly Sills Bearded Iris is hardy in zones 3 through 10. While they will grow in the colder end of that range, please note that the reblooming feature is most reliable in zones 5 through 10.
Yes, the foliage of this iris is generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens where these animals are a common nuisance.
Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for adequate airflow and gives the plants enough room to spread as they mature over the coming years.
Once established, this variety is quite drought-tolerant and requires only moderate to low water. Be careful not to overwater, as the rhizomes prefer well-draining soil to prevent rot.
