Breck's Innocent Star Bearded Iris

Unlike standard varieties that bloom once, the Innocent Star Bearded Iris produces flowers in late spring and then again in late summer through early fall. This double-blooming cycle allows you to enjoy color in your garden for a significantly longer portion of the growing season.

While it thrives in full sun, it is adaptable and will grow well in partial shade. For the best bloom performance, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

These ship as premium rhizomes, which should be planted in the fall. Position the rhizome horizontally just below the soil surface, ensuring the top of the rhizome is slightly exposed to the sun to prevent rot and encourage healthy growth.

Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant, making it a reliable choice if you have frequent visitors in your garden. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, the texture and fragrance of this iris are generally unappealing to deer.

You can expect this variety to reach a height of approximately 35 inches. Its stature makes it an excellent choice for the middle or back of a garden border where it can stand out without overwhelming smaller plants.
