It is extremely cold hardy, and can be grown from zones 2-10.

Planting & Care

  • To see the second bloom, the conditions must be right, with full sun and rich, well-draining soil conditions.
  • Bearded Iris prefer at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. In hot climates (zones 8-11), they will tolerate 4-6 hours of sun, and may need some shade during the day.
  • Bearded Iris rhizomes prefer shallow cultivation, with the top of the rhizome above ground. They grow especially well on slopes or in raised beds.
  • Reblooming Bearded Iris are heavy feeders, requiring more water and fertilizer for the extra boost to flower again.
  • Be sure to deadhead faded flower spikes promptly after the first bloom, so plants will have time to form new flowers.
  • Reblooming Iris are heavy feeders and benefit from a light topdressing of compost and Yum Yum Mix applied just after "deadheading" the plants.
  • Scratch in the compost/Yum Yum Mix lightly and water thoroughly to melt the nutrients into the soil.
  • To avoid burning rhizomes, apply around but not directly on them.

Gorgeous early color

"Needed something small and easy to manage for an odd space between patio, house, walkway and spigot that's covered in rocks and gets absolutely baked by the sun, all day, every day. Dug a shallow trench and dumped these in last fall and early this spring had exactly the pop of color I was looking for. They bloom early, right about when I'm super antsy for spring (but I live on the Front Range, so it's a couple months before ""planting"" season here), then the greenery comes up, and that's attractive, too. I'm definitely going to get more. #sweepstakes"

Lovely First Blooms

"After a long cold Wyoming winter, I was delighted to see these be the first flowers to show their little faces this spring. I would definitely consider getting more and planting in a large grouping for an even more impressive display."

— Laney (5/5)

Early show

"Pretty little irises that pop up as soon as snow melts"
