Bearded Iris Reticulata Bulb Assorted Colors (4 Rhizomes)

With its large and beautiful iris blooms and vibrant green foliage, it's no wonder that this plant holds such a high ornamental value. These versatile flowers can be utilized in various ways for garden viewing pleasure. They can be planted in garden beds, in wet areas, by pools or lakes, or arranged in Shanwei-style gardens. Additionally, they make excellent cut flowers and ground cover plants, making them an essential addition to any garden.

The bulbs of the Iris genus often display dormancy characteristics, with germination times varying between species. While some species can sprout rapidly, others may require up to a year of dormancy before they begin to grow naturally. Each color of iris holds its own symbolic meaning: white symbolizes innocence, yellow signifies steadfast friendship, blue represents admiration and elegance, and purple conveys love and good fortune.

For optimal growth, irises require well-drained soil that dries out between waterings, especially during dormancy. They thrive in rocky gardens, gravel beds, or sandy soil, and perform best in well-drained gritty compost. These plants prefer sunny locations but can also thrive in partially shaded areas, providing vibrant blooms year after year from late spring to early summer. They are suitable for zones 3-10, with some varieties even reblooming in late summer and fall in zones 5-10.
