Unusually billowy and ruffled, the bright petals on this Tall Bearded Iris stand out magnificently in garden or vase! A far cry from the "plain" yellows more familiar to the family, 'Savannah Sunset' earns its names with rich, vibrant tones that refuse to fade even in hot summer weather.
These flowers really pop in the sunny to partly shaded border, standing tall on sturdy 38-inch stems. Very heavy-blooming, 'Savannah Sunset' offers 8 to 10 buds on every flowering stem, for weeks of dramatic color in late spring or early summer. Its garden vigor is as dependable as its luminous color!
Like all Tall Beardeds, 'Savannah Sunset' is quite drought-tolerant once established in the garden, and spreads gradually over time, increasing the beauty of your garden. Divide it every few years to retain the robust growth and flowering of this plant, and make sure the soil drainage is good. Other than that, this is a very low maintenance Iris, determined to bloom profusely for you!
'Savannah Sunset' makes a good companion to other Tall Beardeds from white 'Immortality' to sweetly fragrant blue 'Clarence.' Use it as a bold exclamation mark of warm color in the Iris border, as a faithful companion to Roses, and as an accent to other flowering perennials. Zones 3-9.
