Bearded Irises and Companion Plants - Soft Yellow & Purple Theme

Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders, Summer Borders


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 soft yellow and purple, includes 4 Tall Bearded Irises, 'Champagne Waltz' (Midseason), 'Dream of You' (Midseason), 'Sea Power' (Midseason) and 'Edith Wolford' (Midseason), the architectural Lupines 'Noble Maiden' and 'The Governor', 2 incredibly pretty peonies with different flowering seasons for a longer display, 'Miss America' (Early Midseason) and 'Prairie Charm' (Midseason), as well as the delightfully fragrant English Rose 'Teasing Georgia'.

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!
