Effortless Planting and Care

Planting is easy: place the rhizomes near the soil's surface in a sunny, drained area. Once established, these plants require only periodic irrigation and an annual addition of a balanced fertilizer. Their sword-shaped leaves remain upright during the growing season, needing only swot pruning at the end of blooms. These perennials are easy for the amateur gardener to handle as they are natural and require minimal care.

Eye-Catching Blooms and Foliage of Bearded Iris

The unusual shape of the flower combines standard ups and downs to create a double appearance that grabs the viewer's eye. Colors can change just a little depending on the temperature, which adds more interest to your garden. The leaves remain high and formal, contrasting with the delicate flower's petals. This intertwining effect makes the plant attractive to borders, pots, or mixed beds.

Bloom Time and Life Span

Expect the dazzling blooms to come late spring through early summer, covering your garden for weeks. Each bloom lasts only a few days, but new buds develop in parallel and form a continuous succession. When cared for, this prized perennial can stay in one place for decades, providing seasonal interest and continual enjoyment.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
