Bearded Iris

Bearded Iris is a classic perennial beloved for its striking, ruffled blooms and sword-like foliage. Flowers appear in a wide range of colors - from deep purples and blues to soft pastels and vibrant bicolors - each with a signature fuzzy "beard" on the lower petals. Blooming in late spring to early summer, bearded irises bright height, elegance, and bold color to garden beds and borders. 

These easy to grow plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil, and are drought-tolerant once established. The upright, clumping habit of the foliage adds year-round structure to the landscape.
