IRIS, GERMAN BEARDED Top Size rhizomes


These beautiful rhizomatous iris have well- developed standards and falls with a prominent furry beard in the center of each fall petal. Their large multiple blooms 4" to 6" across appear in early summer, held on simple branched stems surrounded by fans of broad, sword- shaped leaves. The thick, fleshy rhizomes are best planted in late summer to early fall. They do not like wet feet and are actually quite drought tolerant. Our top size rhizomes are shipped from mid-August through September. [Ht: 30"-40", Bl: L, Zones: 3 to 9, S/SSH, 9/sq. yd.]

The broad, glossy green foliage resembles corn plants, a characteristic of the Juno group. Although bulbous, this iris group also has plump and fleshy roots attached. Use: border, cut.
