‘Champagne and Strawberries’ Bearded Iris is an amoena style Iris (white standards with colorful falls). Lovely white standards are blushed with peach and gold, and tan falls edged in rose make for unique spring blooms. At 38 inches tall, this Bearded Iris can anchor the back of a perennial bed or combine well with taller perennials. Easy to grow, plant them in a sunny spot with good drainage, in groups of three or more for best interest. Keep the top of the rhizomes exposed or even with the top of the soil. Once established, Bearded Irises are drought-tolerant, deer resistant, and rabbit resistant, and will spread and multiply when happy. Reblooming Bearded Irises will bloom a second time, as long as the soil, climate, and garden conditions are well suited. Once flowers have faded, this versatile plant’s eye-catching vertical foliage will continue to enhance the perennial garden. Plant with ornamental grasses and other water-thrifty, late spring bloomers such as Allium and Oriental Poppies. Lavender, Gaillardia, Echinacea, and Salvia will benefit from the striking foliage as a backdrop.
