24-36" tall x 18" wide. Care to Dance Bearded Iris (Iris germanica) wakes up the mid-to-late spring garden with colorful, large flowers on 24-36" stems. Three raspberry red falls (downward petals) with creamy rose centers are highlighted by a lavender ruffled edge. The bright orange beards light up the pure white standards (upward petals) that rise above, giving the flower an almost glowing effect. The big blooms harmonize nicely with other Bearded Iris – try some lavender, raspberry, or tangerine colors to really make the flowers pop. They're also beautiful with Oriental Poppies, Peonies, or evergreen shrubs. Plant Care to Dance rhizomes (bulbs) in well-draining soil in a mostly sunny spot. Fertilize with bone meal in the fall and an organic bulb food in spring. Pinch spent flowers and cut the flower stems back when flowering is done to let the spear-shaped foliage add a vertical element to the garden bed. These deer and rabbit resistant plants are easy-care choices for the busy gardener.

"Planted fall 2021, this is my first season (Spring 2023) for blooms. I am blown away this is such a pretty flower. I am so glad I found American Meadows and happy their imaging is a good representation of what I will get."
"I put these in their own container and took care of the m through winter. They have grown but have not flowered yet. I'm hoping I'll have at least one set of blooms this summer. Maybe I did something wrong as this is my first time trying bearded irises."
"Planted these last August and got an amazing result this year! Plants are large and healthy, and blooms are gorgeous, fragrant and plentiful!"
"planted in fall 2020, both bloom now!"
"This is the second season for my Care to Dance. They are the highlight of my garden! So stunning! The pictures just don't do it justice! great producers with many flowers per stem."
