Variegated Gold Bearded Iris lights up the garden with flashy gold, cream, and green banded foliage complemented by fragrant lavender-blue blossoms in mid-to-late spring. This prized Bearded Iris is easy-to-grow and provides a harmonious addition of color, form, and fragrance. A deer and rabbit resistant perennial. (Iris pallida)
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).
(34" tall x 18-24" wide) 'Variegated Gold' Bearded Iris is a garden
favorite with three-season foliage striped in gold and green. The late-day sun
lights up this striking foliage. Topped with graceful, fragrant, lavender-colored
flowers, this elegant perennial is a perfect choice planted behind lower-growing
Geranium or Catmint, or in front of Foxglove, Ornamental Grasses, and Peonies. For
maximum color, plant in groups of 3, 12-24"
apart. Plant rhizomes in enriched, freely draining soil, slightly above the
soil line. Water well, then water as needed through flowering. Remove spent
blooms, and when the stem is finished flowering, cut it off at the base. Over
the years, Bearded Iris will multiply and become a low maintenance, deer and
rabbit resistant start of the garden.
