Know before you buy
This variety is bred to produce a primary flush of flowers in the spring and a second round of blooms from late summer through the fall. While the spring bloom is typically the most prolific, you can expect consistent color in your garden throughout the growing season.
Plant the rhizomes so that the top of the root structure is just barely covered by the soil line. Planting them too deeply can prevent the iris from blooming, as they prefer to have the top of the rhizome exposed to the sun.
Yes, these are hardy in zones 3 through 10. While they are perennial in all these zones, please note that the reblooming feature is most reliable in zones 5 through 10.
Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for adequate air circulation and gives the plants enough room to spread as they mature over the coming seasons.
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 sun to partial sun. For the most reliable reblooming, ensure they receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
