It is extremely cold hardy, and can be grown from zones 2-10.

Planting & Care

  • To see the second bloom, the conditions must be right, with full sun and rich, well-draining soil conditions.
  • Bearded Iris prefer at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. In hot climates (zones 8-11), they will tolerate 4-6 hours of sun, and may need some shade during the day.
  • Bearded Iris rhizomes prefer shallow cultivation, with the top of the rhizome above ground. They grow especially well on slopes or in raised beds.
  • Reblooming Bearded Iris are heavy feeders, requiring more water and fertilizer for the extra boost to flower again.
  • Be sure to deadhead faded flower spikes promptly after the first bloom, so plants will have time to form new flowers.
  • Reblooming Iris are heavy feeders and benefit from a light topdressing of compost and Yum Yum Mix applied just after "deadheading" the plants.
  • Scratch in the compost/Yum Yum Mix lightly and water thoroughly to melt the nutrients into the soil.
  • To avoid burning rhizomes, apply around but not directly on them.
