Easter Charm Bearded Iris - Irises with dark tops and lighter colors on the bottom are such an unexpected sight. All the petals are ruffled with yellow edging. The beard sports creamy white, while the upper is an ombré of purple to light purple. A fantastic flower in all respects. This is slight shorter coming in at 30” which means it will have some earlier blooms than the very tall one. It could be a blossom or extreme or full a gap in iris blossoms - height does matter! If you aren’t sure, go ahead and measure them this season and take some notes.
Bearded Irises are wonderful. They are easy to grow and give you wonderful results. Bearded Irises are hardy from Zone 3 all the way to Zone 10. They do not need a chilling period so they can grow almost anywhere in the United States. It’s not uncommon to hear stories how immigrants would bring these flower with them from their home countries throughout Europe. If you walk through suburbs and cities, you will start to be able to see the diversity of these species.

Key Planting Tips
Plant in full sun with 1/3 of the rhizome exposed above the soil. We like to plant ours 18”-30” apart. They fill in pretty fast. Do NOT mulch over the rhizome as they like to remain dry and extra mulch increases chances of rot. We recommended cutting the flower once it blooms to put energy back into the rhizome and the new blooms that will happen later in the summer.
