Gotham Reblooming Bearded Iris

Unlike standard irises that bloom only once in the spring, this variety is capable of producing a second flush of flowers later in the summer. To encourage this repeat performance, ensure the plant receives consistent moisture and adequate sunlight throughout the growing season.

You should space your Gotham Irises 12 to 24 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which is essential for keeping the rhizomes healthy and preventing rot.

Yes, the Gotham Iris is suitable for container planting. Ensure your pot has excellent drainage and is large enough to accommodate the 12-inch spread of the plant.

While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, the Gotham Iris is highly resistant to both deer and rabbits. Its texture and fragrance are generally unappealing to these animals, making it a reliable choice for gardens prone to browsing.

These irises require well-drained soil to thrive. If your garden has heavy clay, consider amending it with organic matter or planting in raised beds to prevent water from pooling around the rhizomes.

For the best performance and bloom production, plant your iris in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. At least six hours of direct sunlight daily is recommended to ensure the plant reaches its full height and flowering potential.
