This is a presale. Shipping will be mid to late July. SUGAR HIGH - Tall Bearded Iris Talk about sweet! There's a high visual glycemic index on this one, with its peach pink standards, creamy pink falls deepening at hafts and edges to pink. Somewhat open standards show frilly peach style crests if you take the trouble to look. Strawberry pink beards carry a small blue white to blue end. Wide, expansive falls overlap at hafts. Big flowers have lots of ruffles and a faint hint of lace, while widely branched thick stalks carry about nine buds. Deservedly popular. Grows to 40" inches tall and blooms mid to late season.

Iris rhizomes are best divided and transplanted after the plants finish blooming and have enough time to store nutrition in their roots. July through September is the best time to dig them up in Ohio. All Iris are grown on my farm and shipped from my home, bareroot with foliage and roots attached. BONUS rhizomes are always included at an average rate of 1 for every 5 purchased...my choice.
