Reblooming Bearded Iris Final Episode
Details
Bearded Iris Final Episode (Iris germanica Final Episode) sports flowers with a harmonious blend of soft yellow and violet tinged with rust. A re-blooming Iris, it will add color ‘times two’ with two seasons of blooms per year. Not picky and easy-to-grow, these perennials fill a gardener’s wish list for low-care, critter resistant and drought tolerant plants with a colorful presence that will wake up your senses. Bearded Iris like average, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Follow planting instructions and plant them at least 5-6 weeks before the first frost so they can root well before freezing weather (July-September). A dose of bone meal in the fall and some organic bulb food (we recommend Yum Yum Mix) in the spring and after the first bloom are all you need to assure years of summer color. Great cut flowers too, include some foliage for an elegant display.| SKU | HFLDG01 |

Q & A
Suggested Companion Plants:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
