Infrared Bearded Iris
Description
Infrared Bearded Iris (Iris germanica Infrared) springs to life with deep maroon petals around a golden yellow beard. A good grower at 32-38" tall with 10-11 buds per stem, Infrared will enhance the mid-spring garden with deep, rich color and ruffled petals that will dance in a spring breeze. Plant in a sun to part shade location in compost enriched, well drained soil where it can be a backdrop to some of spring’s shorter plants. Planted with spring flowering Oriental Poppies and other jewel-toned bloomers, you can create a rich tapestry of color, texture and form. For drought tolerant settings, companion plants of Catmint, Oenothera, Salvia, and mid-spring bulbs make a lovely display. A pollinator favorite, it is deer resistant too.
