Wayside Gardens Iris germanica

Unlike traditional irises that bloom only once in late spring, 'Pink Attraction' is bred to produce a second flush of flowers. You can expect an initial display in late spring or early summer, followed by another round of blooms in late summer or early fall.

For the best flower production, plant this iris in a location that receives full sun. While it can tolerate partial shade, too little light may result in fewer blooms and weaker stems.

Yes, the foliage and flowers of the Iris germanica are generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune if local wildlife is desperate, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.

Plant your bareroot iris as soon as possible after it arrives. Ensure the rhizome is planted just below the soil surface with the roots spread downward; burying the rhizome too deeply can prevent it from blooming.

Once established, 'Pink Attraction' is quite drought tolerant. You will need to water it regularly during its first season to help it settle in, but after that, it requires minimal supplemental irrigation.

Since this iris reaches a mature width of about two feet, you should space them roughly 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which helps keep the foliage healthy and prevents fungal issues.
