Dusky Challenger Bearded Iris |
Description
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.
One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
