How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
24-36" tall x 18" wide. Montmartre Bearded Iris (Iris germanica) stands tall at 24-36", making it a perfect choice for a mid-to-late spring focal point. Named after Montmartre, an arts district in Paris, this attention-worthy Iris dazzles with ruffled petals of grey-rose standards, with wine-red downward petals. Butter yellow edges the petals giving them a lively, energetic presence. Beautiful in the garden, this award-winning Iris is a good grower with rich green strap-like foliage, the perfect backdrop for the 5" blooms. Plant them in groups of at least three rhizomes for best effect. Plant in well-draining soil with full to part sun exposure--make sure they get at least six hours of sun. Pinch back blooms as they fade and cut stems to 1-2" above soil when the flowering is finished. Beautiful as cut flowers, be sure to harvest some leaves to accompany the flowers. Cut the stems in the morning, when buds are about to open. Keep flowers out of direct light and enjoy the show!
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.
