Diva of the late spring garden, Bearded Irises grow and show well in any garden setting that meets their cultural needs.

This plant combination, in shades of soft yellow and white, includes 3 Tall Bearded Irises with different flowering seasons for a longer display, 'Better Than Butter (Early, Mid, Late Season), 'Champagne Waltz' (Midseason), 'Fringe of Gold' (Late Midseason), the architectural Lupine 'Noble Maiden', 3 incredibly pretty peonies which also enjoy different flowering times, 'Miss America' (Early Midseason), 'Krinkled White' (Midseason) and 'Bartzella' (Late Season), the tall white Allium 'Mt Blanc' 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.
