Description
‘Gerald Darby’ Iris begins its spring performance with a flush of sword-shaped foliage and vibrant ultraviolet blooms. ‘Gerald Darby’ is a hybrid produced by crossing two marginal aquatic iris species native to eastern North America, Iris versicolor and Iris virginica. Plant in full sun to part shade, ideally with morning sun and afternoon shade. Plants need constantly moist soils and can be planted in up to 4 inches of standing water. Blooms open="open" early to mid-spring and make long-lasting cut flowers. Plants can be trimmed back during the dormant season. Irises spread slowly by rhizomes to form dense clumps, and can be divided in early autumn. Wear gloves when handling rhizomes. Plants are deer and rabbit resistant, and toxic if consumed.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
