Spring Hill Nurseries Paprika Fono's Iris

Unlike standard irises that bloom once in the spring, this variety is bred to produce a second flush of flowers later in the growing season, typically in late summer or early fall, provided the plant is healthy and well-maintained.

For the best performance and to encourage that second round of blooms, plant these irises in a spot that receives full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.

They are quite hardy and low-maintenance. Once established, they are drought-tolerant, though you should keep the soil well-drained and remove spent flower stalks to encourage the plant to direct its energy toward reblooming.

Yes, like most bearded irises, this variety will naturally multiply over time by forming rhizomes. You can expect to divide the clumps every three to five years to keep the plants vigorous and ensure they continue to bloom well.

The vibrant, warm tones of the petals are genetically determined and will remain consistent regardless of your soil's pH. However, ensuring the soil is fertile and well-draining will help the plant produce the strongest, most saturated colors.
