Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris

The Immortality iris is bred to flower in late spring and then produce a second flush of blooms from late summer through early fall. This provides a much longer season of color compared to standard, once-blooming iris varieties.

These irises require well-drained soil to prevent the rhizomes from rotting. While they are tolerant of various soil types including clay and sand, ensure the planting site does not stay waterlogged, especially during the winter months.

The Immortality iris is hardy in zones 4 through 9. As long as you are within this range, the plant is capable of surviving the winter and returning each year as a reliable perennial.

No, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and scent of these irises typically discourage deer from grazing on them.

For the best performance and to encourage reblooming, plant these in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. At least six hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal for maintaining the plant's strength and flower production.

When planting, the top of the rhizome should be just barely covered with soil or even slightly exposed at the surface. Planting them too deeply can inhibit blooming and increase the risk of rot.
