Description

Iris pumila ‘Sharp Dressed Boy’ is a miniature reblooming purple bicolor iris that echoes the color pattern of its taller relative, ‘Sharp Dressed Man’. Purple bicolor petals with a vibrant orange beard exudes style and charm. Dwarf Bearded Irises are commonly referred to as "border iris," and rightly so. Small in size but big on impact, these miniature gems are perfect for edging flowerbeds or lining paths with their charming blooms.

Plant ‘Sharp Dressed Boy’ in well-drained soil, preferably in a sunny spot – shoot for planting in mid to late summer, or early fall in warmer regions. Once they're in the ground, they take care of themselves. Their resilience makes them a must-have for any gardener looking for low-maintenance, deer-resistant plants.
