Valentino Bearded Iris adds a silky ruffled texture to the garden with terra cotta red standards above iridescent burgundy falls. A bright yellow beard and throat adds a dazzling flash of color. Blooming from early-to-late spring, it’s a fragrant, deer-resistant, and easy-to-grow addition to the garden. (Iris germanica)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(36" tall x 12" wide) 'Valentino' Bearded Iris is striking with
luscious scarlet standards (upright petals) that almost float over the darker red
falls (lower petals). With lemon-yellow beards and throat, Valentino is sweetly
fragrant and lovely planted where it can shine against the greens in a perennial
bed. Create a focal point by planting a group where they can show off near an
entry, along a deck, or any sunny spot that you like. Plant with Peonies, Delphinium,
and Salvia for even more color. Plant the rhizomes in average soil with good
drainage, just above the soil line and water as needed. Once established these
hardy plants are drought-tolerant, and low maintenance. As flowers fade, trim
spent blooms and cut finished stems close to the ground. The sword-shaped
foliage will continue to add vertical interest. Deer and rabbit resistant.
