Iris germanica 'Swept Off My Feet'

This variety is bred to produce a primary flush of flowers in June, followed by a second set of blooms in late summer or early fall. Please note that successful rebloom is dependent on your specific climate, local growing conditions, and consistent care.

Plant the rhizomes just below the soil surface, ensuring the top of the rhizome is slightly exposed to the sun. They require well-draining soil to prevent rot, so avoid planting them in areas where water tends to pool.

Yes, Bearded Irises are generally considered critter-resistant. Their foliage and rhizomes are typically unpalatable to deer and rabbits, making them a reliable choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.

These irises require a location with full sun, ideally receiving at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Adequate sun exposure is essential for strong stems and the energy required for reblooming.

The vertical, sword-like foliage remains attractive and provides architectural interest throughout the rest of the growing season. You can trim back the spent flower stalks to keep the plant tidy, but leave the leaves intact until they naturally die back in late autumn.
