Califlora Bearded Iris Paprika Fono

Yes, this variety is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, the texture and taste of bearded irises generally discourage them from grazing.

These irises perform best in full sun to partial sun. For the most prolific blooming, choose a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

Absolutely. Their excellent branching form and vibrant color palette make them a standout choice for cut flower arrangements. Simply cut the stems when the buds are just beginning to open to maximize their vase life.

The Califlora Paprika Fono is hardy in zones 3 through 10. Please note that while it is a perennial across all these zones, it is a reliable rebloomer specifically in zones 5 through 10.
