The Reblooming Bearded Iris Collection is a curated selection of some of the finest and most vibrant reblooming irises, perfect for gardeners who want to enjoy multiple bursts of stunning blooms throughout the growing season.

With an array of colors, shapes, and sizes, this collection will ensure your garden is filled with vibrant color, drama, and charm year after year.

Key Features:

• Extended Bloom Time: The defining feature of this collection is the reblooming nature of each iris. After their first, show-stopping bloom in spring, these irises will bloom again in late summer or fall, providing a second round of vibrant flowers and extending the visual interest of your garden. This reblooming ability makes them perfect for gardeners who want to enjoy the beauty of irises for a longer period.
• Wide Range of Colors: The collection includes a variety of irises in a spectrum of colors, from deep purples and blues to bright yellows, oranges, and pinks, and even striking bi-color and ruffled varieties. Whether you’re looking to add bold, dramatic color to your garden or want a softer, more romantic palette, there’s an iris in this collection for every taste and garden design.
• Stunning Fragrance: Many of the irises in this collection feature a subtle yet beautiful fragrance, adding another layer of sensory delight to your garden. The sweet, pleasant scent is perfect for areas like pathways, patios, and garden seating areas, where you can truly enjoy it as you relax and take in the garden’s beauty.
• Dramatic Foliage and Height: Standing tall at 30-36 inches, these irises have elegant, upright stems that hold their large, showy blooms above the foliage. Their stature makes them ideal for planting in the middle or back of garden beds and borders, where they can shine and become a striking focal point in your landscape.
• Long-Lasting Blooms: The large, ruffled blooms of the reblooming irises typically last for several weeks, with each flower gradually opening to reveal intricate, velvety petals. The reblooming cycle means you’ll enjoy a second round of blooms later in the season, ensuring your garden remains vibrant and colorful for months.

Ideal for Gifting and Decorating:

• Perfect for Garden Lovers: The Reblooming Bearded Iris Collection is an ideal gift for anyone who appreciates the beauty of irises or enjoys growing their own flowers. Whether it’s for a birthday, Mother’s Day, or a special garden occasion, this collection offers a gift that will keep on giving with its reblooming cycles.
• Great for Seasonal Garden Designs: This collection is perfect for creating a dynamic garden design that offers color throughout the seasons. With its mix of early and late bloomers, the collection ensures your garden will be in constant transition, offering fresh, new beauty each time the irises rebloom.

Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply want to bring the beauty of your garden inside, these irises will add elegance and charm to any vase or floral centerpiece.

Care Instructions:

• Light: These irises thrive in full sun and need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to bloom well. Planting them in sunny areas will help produce the vibrant colors and healthy growth that make them so stunning.
• Watering: While irises are somewhat drought-tolerant once established, they perform best with regular watering, especially during dry spells. Be sure to water deeply to encourage strong root development, but avoid letting the soil become waterlogged. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, the irises in this collection are adaptable to various climates, including areas with cold winters and warm summers. Their resilience allows them to thrive in many different regions, making them a versatile choice for gardeners across the country.
• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil is ideal for these irises. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH levels and should not be planted in heavy, clay-based soil unless it is amended with organic material for better drainage. Consider mixing compost or sand into your soil to ensure the roots stay healthy and do not sit in water.
• Maintenance: Deadheading spent blooms will encourage the plant to focus its energy on producing new flowers and maintaining healthy foliage. After the blooms fade, trim back the leaves to prevent the plant from looking untidy. In late fall or early winter, cut back the remaining foliage to tidy up the plant for the next growing season.
• Division: Irises should be divided every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain vigorous growth. The best time to divide them is after the blooming period, typically in late summer or early fall. Make sure each division has a healthy fan of leaves and roots. Space the new plants 12-18 inches apart to allow them to grow and spread comfortably.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: The Reblooming Bearded Iris Collection is shipped as bare-root rhizomes. These rhizomes are carefully selected to ensure healthy, vigorous growth, and they are ready to be planted as soon as they arrive.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the rhizome with the top of the rhizome just above the soil surface.
  3. Spread the roots beneath the rhizome and position it properly in the hole.
  4. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to give them room to grow and spread.
  5. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the rhizome.
  6. Mulch lightly around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, but avoid covering the rhizome itself.
