What customers say
Customers highly value the Priscilla of Corinth Bearded Iris, focusing primarily on its stunning beauty and the highly desired reblooming performance. Reviewers consistently praise the robust health and quality of the rhizomes received. The blooms feature complex lavender and white patterns that often exceed expectations. While many gardeners successfully achieve multiple bloom cycles, realizing the full reblooming potential is climate dependent. Success requires patience and ideal cultural conditions, as some buyers report only the initial spring flowering. Despite this variability, the consensus is that the iris offers premium quality. Gardeners feel the established flower beauty and plant hardiness justify the investment, making it a worthwhile addition when conditions align for repeat performance.
Know before you buy
A reblooming iris produces a primary flush of flowers in the spring and then sends up a second set of blooms in late summer or fall. This allows you to enjoy the peach-colored petals and tangerine beards twice in a single growing season.
Plant the rhizomes just beneath the soil line, with the top of the rhizome barely covered. Planting them too deep can prevent the iris from blooming or cause the rhizome to rot.
These irises are hardy in zones 3 through 10. While they will grow in all these zones, they are specifically known to rebloom in zones 5 through 10.
For the best performance and flower production, plant these in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. At least six hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal to ensure strong stems and consistent reblooming.
Yes, this variety is considered deer and rabbit resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, the texture and taste of bearded iris foliage are generally unappealing to them.
Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This provides enough room for the plants to spread and ensures proper air circulation, which is important for maintaining plant health.
