Discover the Elegant 'Edith Wolford' Bearded Iris – A Royal Touch for Your Garden!

Transform your garden into a majestic display with the breathtaking Iris germanica 'Edith Wolford'. This stunning bearded iris boasts a sophisticated color combination: radiant cream-white standards gracefully paired with rich, royal blue-purple falls and a prominent blue-purple beard. It's a true showstopper, perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, yet incredibly decorative plant.

Hardy Perennial Beauty for Every Climate

Unlike the much smaller bulbous Iris hollandica, Iris germanica (also known as the German Iris or Flag Iris) is a robust, hardy perennial. Originally from the Mediterranean region, it thrives across the European continent and beyond. Its coarse rhizomes (rootstocks) prefer normal, well-drained garden soil or full ground. The "bearded" name comes from the fuzzy strip on the lower petals, which not only adds unique charm but also effectively attracts bumblebees and bees, boosting your garden's biodiversity!

Stately Growth & Exquisite Cut Flowers

'Edith Wolford' grows to an impressive height of approximately 90 cm (35 inches), standing firmly on its sturdy stems. This makes the bearded iris an excellent choice for cut flowers. Bring the majestic beauty of 'Edith Wolford' indoors and enjoy its elegant blooms in fresh arrangements.

Planting for Spectacular Blooms This Year!

Bearded irises typically bloom in May and June. If you plant in March, you'll give the rhizomes just enough time to establish themselves and develop strong flower stalks for a glorious display in the same year.

Key Planting Tips: Plant the rhizomes shallowly, with the top just at or slightly above the soil surface. Ensure well-drained soil and a sunny location for the most abundant blooms. Good care after planting (regular watering until established) will also help encourage flowering in the first year.

Despite the common name "blue iris," Iris germanica varieties come in the most exquisite array of colors and combinations – and 'Edith Wolford' is a prime example of this captivating diversity!
