Bearded iris

Bearded iris are perhaps one of the more “showy” types of irises available due to their central frilly “beard” petal. These irises are available in a wide range of colors – if you are looking for a replacement to Yellow flag iris, choose a yellow variety. Otherwise, they are also available in pinks, blues, purples, and many other stunning color combinations. Bearded irises grow 20-70 cm tall, depending on the cultivar. They require moist but well-drained soil to thrive. As an added bonus, many Bearded irises are fragrant!
