Reblooming Iris - reblooming bearded irises

ZONES: The rebloom zone noted in the description is the lowest (or coldest) zone in which the iris has been noted to rebloom, and it has rebloomed in all higher zones. For example, "Rebloom to zone 4" means that this iris reblooms from zones 4 - 10, but not zones 1, 2, or 3. For more detailed information see our Glossary

In addition to blooming in the Spring, the reblooming bearded irises have the ability to bloom again in the Summer and Fall. They are called Reblooming Irises. Fall bloom cannot be guaranteed. It depends on the combination of location, climate, and amount of water. Bearded reblooming Irises will require more watering in the warmer climates. They should be watered once a week without rainfall. Except for the following, all of the reblooming Irises are tall bearded Irises.

Intermediate bearded Irises are Candy Rock, Concertina, Hi, and Honey Glazed.

Border bearded Irises are Headline Banner and Peach Reprise.
