Easy to Grow Bulbs Bearded Iris Califlora Mix

These bearded irises are bred to bloom twice in a single season. You can expect a flush of flowers in the spring, followed by a second, reliable display in late summer or early fall.

Since these arrive as rooted plants in quart pots, you should plant them so the top of the rhizome sits just beneath the soil line. Space each plant 8 to 12 inches apart to give them enough room to spread as they mature.

Yes, the foliage of these irises is naturally unappealing to both deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune if local wildlife is desperate, these are a reliable choice for gardens where pests are a common issue.

These irises are incredibly versatile and hardy, thriving in USDA zones 3 through 10. They are drought-tolerant and built to handle tough conditions, making them suitable for a wide range of environments across the country.

For the best results and the most abundant blooms, plant these in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. While they are tough plants, they perform best when they have access to consistent light throughout the day.
