Summer Twilight Bearded Iris Collection

Five of the six varieties in this collection are capable of producing a second flush of flowers in the autumn, provided they receive adequate water and care during the summer months. While the primary show occurs in late spring, these varieties offer an extended season of interest compared to standard irises.

This collection is designed to cover approximately 14 square feet. When planting, ensure each rhizome has enough room to spread, as they will naturalize and multiply over time.

Tall Bearded Irises require a site with full sun and well-drained soil. They prefer a neutral soil pH and will not thrive in areas where water stands or the soil remains consistently soggy.

Yes, Bearded Irises are generally avoided by deer and other common garden critters. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, these are a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a concern.

These Tall Bearded Irises reach a mature height of approximately 37 inches. Their vertical stature makes them an excellent choice for the middle or back of a perennial border.

You should leave the foliage intact after the spring bloom, as it remains attractive and continues to provide energy to the rhizome for next year's growth. Only remove spent flower stalks to keep the plant tidy and encourage the reblooming varieties to focus their energy on a second show.
