Gilbert H. Wild Immortality Iris

A #1 grade bareroot rhizome is a mature, healthy root system shipped without soil. This is the industry standard for irises, allowing the plant to establish itself quickly in your garden soil once planted.

The Immortality Iris is known for its vigorous reblooming habit, meaning it typically produces a flush of flowers in the spring and then continues to bloom intermittently through the summer and fall. While it isn't a constant carpet of color, you can expect consistent, reliable blooms throughout the growing season.

It is critical. Because irises grow from rhizomes, they are susceptible to rot if they sit in standing water or heavy, soggy soil. Ensure you plant them in well-drained soil to keep the rhizomes healthy.

While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, this variety is highly resistant to deer and rabbits. They generally find the texture and taste of iris foliage unappealing, making it a reliable choice for gardens where these animals are common.

While it is primarily an outdoor landscape plant, you can grow it in a large container as long as it has excellent drainage and receives full sun. Ensure the pot is deep enough to accommodate the root system and that you use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.

This variety thrives in full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. If planted in too much shade, the plant will likely produce fewer blooms and may become leggy.
