Van Zyverden Bearded Iris Firebreather Set of 3 roots

Iris Germanic, commonly called German Iris, is the presumed father of most modern bearded iris cultivars, of which there are now thousands to enjoy. German Iris has no bulb, as it spreads by creeping rhizomes that form large clumps over time. There are now so many cultivars to choose from that it is often difficult to choose which variety you like best. They perennialize and naturalize very well, with little to no effort. Bearded Iris bloom descriptions consist of falls, beards, and standards and become quite technical, especially by iris lovers. Let's just enjoy them for what they are - showy, fragrant perennials that are both deer and drought resistant. Firebreather is a superb variety that was chosen for it unique coloring.
