Iris germanica Savannah Sunset (Iris germanica) is a tall (36-38”) bearded iris with intense orange flowers and prominent tangerine-orange beards. Savanna Sunset Iris is heavily budded, long-blooming (lasting a full three weeks), and drought resistant.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Iris germanica Savannah Sunset (Iris germanica) is a tall, intensely orange bearded iris that won’t fade even on the hottest of days. Wide, ruffled petals and prominent deep-orange beards. Heavily budded, Savanna Sunset Iris grows to 36"-38" tall and offers one of the longest bloom times (three full weeks) of any bearded iris. A drought resistant perennial plant (xeric). Pairs well with white, purple or blue iris varieties.
