Bearded Iris — Classic, Show-Stopping Blooms with Timeless Garden Charm

Add elegance and dramatic color to your landscape with Bearded Iris, a garden favorite known for its ruffled petals, rich hues, and striking upright form. These hardy perennials are treasured for their large, velvety blooms and distinctive “beards” that create texture and dimension, making them standout stars in spring and early summer gardens. Bearded iris thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding gardeners with dependable, low-maintenance performance year after year. Their strong, sword-like foliage adds structure even when not in bloom, while their flowers arrive in a wide spectrum of colors — from deep purples and blues to soft pastels, bright yellows, and dramatic bi-color combinations. Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, walkways, and cutting gardens, bearded iris multiply over time, creating fuller displays with each season. They’re also drought-tolerant once established and naturally deer-resistant, making them a practical and beautiful choice for many growing conditions. Whether you’re designing a formal garden or adding pops of color to mixed beds, our carefully selected bearded iris varieties deliver bold blooms and timeless charm. At Firefly Farm & Mercantile, we’re passionate about plants that bring lasting beauty — explore our bearded iris collection and enjoy vibrant, reliable flowers that return every spring.
