Tall Bearded Iris - Iris germanica &

Crowned Heads Tall Bearded Iris

Iris germanica 'Crowned Heads'

This multi-award-winning variety with an unusual bicolour of blue upright standards over icy-blue and white falls with a distinctive beard: its multiple blooms per stalk and slight sweet fragrance make it one of the most prized of all bearded iris for the cutting garden.

  • Blue upright standards contrast with icy-blue and white falls, a refined bicolour effect
  • Several blooms open per strong stalk, excellent cutting value
  • Lightly but distinctly sweet-scented, one of the more fragrant tall bearded iris
  • Thick light green sword-like blades provide bold foliage structure after the bloom season

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Iris germanica grow best in a moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun. They dislike wet conditions and excess winter moisture. Ensure that the rhizome is slightly about soil level when planting. Once the flowers are spent, remove stalks to keep a tidy looking plant. If plants are overcrowded, flowers will not be as prolific.
