Unlike standard varieties that bloom only once, these bearded irises are bred to produce flowers in both late spring and early fall. This provides two distinct periods of color in your garden rather than just one.

Absolutely. Their sturdy, upright stems and striking, fragrant blooms make them excellent for cutting. For the longest vase life, cut the stems when the buds are just beginning to show color.

You should space them 12 to 24 inches apart. This spacing allows for proper air circulation, which is crucial for keeping the rhizomes healthy and preventing fungal issues.
