Spring Hill Nurseries Immortality Bearded Iris

This variety is bred to bloom in mid-spring and then produce a second flush of flowers later in the season. While the first bloom is typically the most prolific, the second cycle provides consistent color when many other spring perennials have finished.

For the best performance and bloom count, plant these in a spot that receives full sun, which is at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. They can tolerate partial shade, but you may see fewer flowers and weaker stems in lower light conditions.

Not at all. Bearded irises are generally low-maintenance perennials. The most important care step is ensuring they are planted in well-draining soil, as they are susceptible to rot if left in standing water.

These irises are hardy in zones 4 through 9, making them adaptable to a wide range of climates. If you are in a very cold zone 4, consider adding a layer of mulch in the winter to protect the rhizomes from extreme temperature fluctuations.

At maturity, the Immortality Iris typically reaches about 29 inches in height. This makes them a great mid-border plant that provides vertical interest without overwhelming smaller perennials in front of them.
