About Concertina - Re-Blooming Bearded Iris

Iris germanica

Seed Type Rhizome

We are huge fans of the Concertina iris! The amazing petals on these beauties are a perfect dusty rose, with vibrant violet beards. Since Concertina irises are re-blooming, you get to see them perform twice a year—they'll flower in late spring and then again in early fall. They'll grow up to 3 feet tall, so they're perfect for borders and as a backdrop. They look great with roses, too. Make sure you plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil, give them lots of sun, and fertilize them after the first set of blooms has faded. Tip: Since irises bloom at different times depending on their size, combine several types together for an even longer blooming period. And, good news: they're deer- and rabbit-resistant!
