Bearded iris like at least 5 hours sun a day and dry rather than wet growing situation. They are planted with their rhizomes sitting on top of the soil so they can sunbather.
Bearded Irises are completely frost resistant. Their foliage doesn't disappear completely but retreats to short leaves during the winter.
There are talls and dwarfs among this lot.
$10.00 a pot.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
P.S. Bare rooted rhizomes I plan to start selling before Christmas.
