Eden Brothers Bearded Iris

Unlike standard irises that bloom only once, the 'City Lights' variety is bred to produce a primary flush of flowers in the spring and a second, smaller set of blooms in the fall, provided the plant is healthy and well-established.

This iris requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Without sufficient light, the plant may produce lush foliage but fail to develop its signature azure and cream flowers.

Not at all. These are shipped as rhizomes, which should be planted just below the soil surface in well-draining soil. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant and require minimal intervention, making them an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.

The City Lights Bearded Iris is considered resistant to both deer and rabbits. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, these are generally avoided by pests due to their texture and taste.

Yes, they are excellent for cutting. Because they are highly fragrant, they make a wonderful addition to indoor bouquets; simply cut the stems when the buds are just beginning to open to maximize their vase life.

For the best results and proper air circulation, space your rhizomes 12 to 24 inches apart. This ensures the plants have enough room to spread as they mature over the coming seasons.
