Bearded Iris is a perennial plant that we grow from a rhizome. There are over 200 different species and many varieties of Iris within those species giving many options for color, size, and blooming habit. The flower is comprised of 3 outer flower petals, called falls, and 3 inner flower petals, called standards. The standard petals tend to stand more upright while the fall petals droop downward. This iris is called bearded iris because there is a thick, bushy “beard” on the flower falls. Bearded Iris have fans of bright green, sword-shaped leaves.
