Spring Hill Nurseries Paprika Fono's Iris

Unlike traditional irises that bloom only once in the spring, the Paprika Fono is bred to produce a second flush of flowers in the summer and fall. This provides a much longer window of color for your garden beds.

Yes, these irises are well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix to prevent the rhizomes from sitting in excess water.

For the best flower production, place your iris in a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight. While it can tolerate partial sun, you will see the most vibrant and frequent blooms in full sun conditions.

The sword-like foliage is quite resilient and provides structural interest even when the plant is not in bloom. In many climates, the leaves remain attractive throughout the growing season, though they may die back in areas with very harsh winters.

This variety is relatively low-maintenance and has low water needs once it is settled in your garden. It is important to keep the soil well-drained, as these irises do not like to have 'wet feet' or soggy roots.
