Ragtop Re-blooming Bearded Iris (Iris germanica) will make your garden the talk of the town. At 32-38" tall, Iris germanica Ragtop is a great addition to a perennial bed in a sun-to-part shade location. Its deep, rich coloration contrasted by the white standards make a garden statement that belies the fact that it is easy to grow, water-thrifty, deer resistant, and pollinator friendly. Blooming first in June and then again in late summer/early fall, the arrival of Iris Ragtop Day will become a cause for celebration in your garden. Plant with roses, Oriental poppies or other summer blooming perennials. The rhizomes (roots) will multiply over the years. When the plant gets compacted, cut them back after blooming and gently dig them up. Separate the rhizomes so that each has some leaves and replant them, create new plantings and share with fellow gardeners – they will thank you and you will enjoy seeing Bearded Iris Ragtop Day find its way through the neighborhood.
