Standard Bearded Iris Rhizomes

Traditional bearded irises (Iris germanica) are spring-blooming perennials known for their large, ruffled flowers and distinctive fuzzy “beards” on the lower petals. Unlike reblooming varieties, these irises flower once per season, typically in late spring to early summer, offering a spectacular burst of color before transitioning into their sword-like foliage for the rest of the year.

Available in a wide range of hues, from deep purples and blues to soft pastels and striking bi-colors, traditional bearded irises thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Their drought tolerance, deer resistance, and low-maintenance nature make them a reliable choice for borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings.
