Iris

Tall bearded Irises are one of the easiest perennials to grow, colonizing freely to increase their display of colorful, ruffled blooms every year. Identified by the thick, bushy "beards" on each of the falls (lower petals) of the blossoms, Bearded Irises are unmistakable, making a bold and beautiful statement as cut flowers or in the garden. Easy to grow, deer and rabbit resistant, and quite drought tolerant once established, Tall Bearded Irises appear in late spring to early summer, displaying almost every color except fire-engine red!
