Califlora Immortality Bearded Iris

A reblooming iris produces a flush of flowers in the spring and then typically blooms again in late summer or fall. To encourage the second bloom, ensure the plant receives consistent water and sunlight throughout the growing season.

Plant the rhizomes just beneath the soil surface, leaving the top of the rhizome slightly exposed or covered with a very thin layer of soil. Planting them too deep can prevent the iris from blooming effectively.

The Califlora Immortality is highly versatile, hardy in zones 3 through 10. While it will grow in all these zones, it is most reliable for reblooming in zones 5 through 10.

Yes, the foliage of the Bearded Iris is generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife pressure is a concern. While no plant is 100% immune, these are widely considered a safe bet for animal-resistant landscaping.

Space your rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which is essential for keeping the plants healthy and preventing rot.

These irises perform best in full sun, which helps them produce the most blooms. However, they can tolerate light or partial shade, especially in hotter climates where a bit of afternoon protection is beneficial.
