But did you know that many varieties are sweetly scented too?
Fragrance in bearded irises is a quality that is often overlooked by gardeners. This is certainly a shame since many cultivars are notable for their pleasing fragrances. Lightly or heavily perfumed, their scents range from orange blossom to grape soda to even chocolate!
