Know before you buy
A reblooming iris is capable of producing a second flush of flowers in late summer or fall after its initial spring bloom. While the spring display is standard, the second bloom depends on your climate and proper care throughout 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.
Yes, this variety is considered resistant to both deer and rabbits. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, these irises are generally ignored by pests that typically browse on more tender garden flowers.
These irises perform best in full sun, which encourages the strongest stems and the most prolific blooming. They can tolerate light shade, but you may see fewer flowers if they do not receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for adequate air circulation, which is essential for keeping the plants healthy and preventing fungal issues.
Once established, these irises are quite drought-tolerant and require only moderate to low water. You should avoid overwatering, as the rhizomes can rot if left in consistently soggy soil.
