Description
Iris germanica ‘Tempting Fate’ (Tall Bearded Iris) will make your garden the talk of the town. At 34" tall, 'Tempting Fate' is a great addition to a perennial bed in a sun-to-part shade location. Its dark purple, nearly black falls contrasted by the soft blue and lavender standards make a garden statement that belies the fact that it is easy to grow, water-thrifty, deer resistant, and pollinator friendly.
Plant Bearded Irises in a full sun to partial shade location in garden soil that drains well. If necessary, use a raised bed to ensure good drainage. Place the rhizomes just below the soil level in hot climates, and just above in moderate to cool climates. Water as needed to keep soil moist as the plant establishes. Plant in groups of 3, 12-24" apart for maximum effect. Grow extra for cut flowers - for best results, harvest when buds have fully emerged and are showing color.
Shipping
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. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
