You can have it all with the sweet and edgy Enchanted Bearded Iris Collection. Like any great girl group, each flower has a personality of her own! 'Dangerous Mood' is the impressive opening act, featuring two stems with 7-8 buds each, which will bloom into crisp white standards brushed with blue (upright petals), deep velvet blue falls (downward petals), and a dark beard. Next up is 'Anaconda Love,' a petite and stylish beauty with dusty pink standards and red wine falls, powdery white highlights, and a rose gold beard. 'Sugar Blues' sings out with a pared-down bloom, clean bright blue color, and sweet fragrance. Little sister 'Wild Irish Rose' will delight with lots of small rosy-orchid blooms surrounding orange beards. In contrast, jet black 'Raven Girl' is the tallest and most prolific rock star in the collection. 'Raven Girl' features 3 stems with 8-12 buds on each, blooming with dark, luxuriously ruffled petals. Not to be outdone, reblooming 'Sugar Blues' returns for an encore in early fall! Flower heights will range from about 24 inches to 39 inches, with 'Anaconda Love' on the slighter side, and 'Raven Girl' on the taller end.
Enjoy dramatic cut-flower arrangements with your Enchanted Bearded Iris collection. Irises have sturdy foliage and thick stems that are great for long-lasting cut flower arrangements.
Let these enchanting ladies come to life by planting in full sun and well-draining soil. Bearded irises will multiply year after year, so be sure to give their rhizomes (bulbs) 12-24 inches between them when planting. Bury them just enough so that the top of the rhizome shows through the soil, and the roots will grow horizontally.

'Dangerous Mood' Bearded Iris (early to mid spring, 24-36" tall)
