Easy to Grow Bulbs Bearded Iris Califlora Champagne Elegance

A reblooming iris typically flowers in the spring and then produces a second flush of blooms from late summer into early fall. This variety is specifically bred to provide an extended season of color rather than just a single spring display.

Plant the rhizomes shallowly, with the top of the rhizome just beneath the soil line. If planted too deeply, the iris may struggle to bloom or rot in the soil.

These irises are hardy in zones 3 through 10. While they will grow in the colder zones, they are most reliable for reblooming in zones 5 through 10 where the growing season is long enough to support a second round of flowers.

For the best performance and bloom production, plant them in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. At least six hours of direct sunlight daily is recommended to ensure strong stalks and consistent flowering.

Yes, the foliage of the Bearded Iris is generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune if local wildlife is desperate, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens where browsing animals are a common concern.

Space your iris rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows for adequate air circulation and gives the plants enough room to spread as they mature to their 12-inch width.
