Iris germanica 'Toucan Tango' (Tall Bearded Iris) brings a spectacular display of broken colors, combining rich shades of yellow, purple, and white. The mustard yellow color of its petals lightens to cream at their centers. Variable violet-purple streaks randomly cover the slightly ruffled petals. Not just a visual treat, ‘Toucan Tango’ is also fragrant, adding a pleasant aroma to your garden space.
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.
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.
