Highly prized for the refined beauty of its blooms, 'Gracieuse' Japanese Iris brings a strong vertical element with its sword-shaped leaves and long-stemmed blooms. Unlike their Bearded Iris cousins that require well-drained soil, Japanese Irises prefer soil that stays consistently moist and thrive near ponds and other water features where there is moist soil. Although related to native North American irises, this species is native to Asia and is highly prized in Japan where it has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Japanese Irises are some of the most popular Irises, and are usually planted in spring. They form large lavish clumps and are highly decorative, blooming in late summer. They are a good selection for cut flowers.
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.
