Diva of the late spring garden, Bearded Irises grow and show well in any garden setting that meets their cultural needs. Pairing them with companion plants such as perennials, flower bulbs, or even ornamental grasses, accent each other in shape, texture, height, or color and enhance the beauty of your borders.
This plant combination, in shades of blues includes 5 ravishing Tall Bearded Irises with different flowering seasons for a longer display, ‘Best Bet’ (Early Season), ‘Stairway to Heaven’ (Early Midseason), ‘Yaquina Blue’ (Midseason), ‘Immortality’ (Midseason) and ‘Queen’s Circle’ (Late Midseason), the architectural Lupine ‘Noble Maid’, the blue blossoms of Geranium ‘Johnson’s Blue’ and Cornflowers (Centaurea montana), the pristine white blooms of Peony ‘Miss America’ (Paeonia lactiflora) as well as one of the prettiest ornamental onions, Allium caeruleum.
Adding splashes of color in your late spring garden, this pairing will lengthen your bloom display and provide weeks of color until late summer.
Most plants have received prestigious awards and make excellent fresh-cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home!
