The Deer Resistant Beauties Bulb Collection
combines two florist favorites for a planting that serves double duty, adorning
gardens and vases. Each variety is remarkable on its own, yet they harmonize
well. The falls of 'Sapphire Beauty' are marked with a bright yellow flame that
echoes the golden yellow falls of 'Oriental Beauty', while the blue tones share
tints and shades of a single hue. Tuck these beauties among perennials in sunny
borders and beds for fuss-free color. Plants are hardy in zones 5 to 10 and
establish best in locations where soil is warm and dry during the summer months
when plants go dormant. In locations with wet summers, bulbs can be dug and
stored after the foliage begins to die back. Store in a cool, dark place and
replant in fall when you plant tulips and other bulbs. Provide adequate
moisture during the blooming season.
Deer Resistant Beauties Bulb Collection will fill roughly 3 sq ft if planted together and contains 35 plants:
'Sapphire Beauty' Dutch Iris - 20 Bulbs
'Oriental Beauty' Dutch Iris - 15 Bulbs
