Dusky Challenger Bearded Iris |
This dramatic looking iris reaches 3' tall and has large, royal blue, ruffled flowers in spring. These scented flowers prefer full or part sun with well draining soil. It needs a moderate amount of water. It tolerates ocean spray and is deer resistant. It does better if fertilized 3 times a year: in spring at time of new growth, right after bloom period and then in fall. This is a show stopper.
