How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
Air Time Bearded Iris delivers consistent performance and nuanced color, with blooms that blend soft blue-pink tones accented by coral highlights and deeper violet veining. The result is a layered, understated palette that works well in both modern and naturalistic garden designs, especially in the bright light of Western landscapes.
This variety is known for its strong stems and multiple buds per stalk, providing a longer bloom period from mid to late season. Flowers rise cleanly above the foliage, adding vertical structure and visual rhythm to borders, perennial beds, and cutting gardens. It pairs effectively with silvers, blues, and other drought-tolerant perennials common in Western planting schemes.
Air Time is well-suited to regions with dry summers and full sun. Like most bearded irises, it prefers well-drained soil and benefits from minimal supplemental water once established. Its durability and low input needs make it a strong choice for water-wise gardens and low-maintenance landscapes.
Plant rhizomes in a sunny location with good air circulation. With proper siting, Air Time Bearded Iris will return reliably each year, offering consistent color and structure with minimal upkeep.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent.
