(42" tall x 12-24" wide) 'Wild Angel' Bearded Iris dances in
the mid to late spring garden with a halo of white ruffled petals over wildly
colorful falls (lower petals). Edged in lemon-yellow, washed with warm violet, this
amazing Iris is a must have! In the back of a perennial bed, it will harmonize
with other flowers. As a focal point, it can mark a path, edge a deck, or blend
beautifully with other Irises. Consider planting it with Peonies,
roses, Oriental poppies, and Lupine. These easy-care Bearded Iris are simple to
grow, deer and rabbit resistant. Plant them in a sunny location in enriched
garden soil that drains freely. Plant the rhizomes with the top of the rhizome
just above the soil line. Water evenly as the plants establish. Thereafter this
drought-tolerant garden hero will naturalize over the years, creating masses of
low-care flowers.
