Description

Iris ‘Jurassic Park’. Tall Bearded. Early-mid Spring bloom. 36″ tall. Reblooming. Vibrant, bright yellow, ruffled standards compliment the blended royal purple falls with silver beards. This iris is sure to make a large footprint wherever it blooms! Drought tolerant, highly resistant to deer and rabbits, very attractive to butterflies! #1 grade, bareroot rhizome. Awards: Awards of Merit, Honorable Mention. For best flowering, they prefer a full day of sun but can still perform well with at least half a day. The most important factor for success is excellent drainage—these irises will not tolerate soggy soil, which can cause the rhizomes to rot. They grow well in any quality garden soil, as long as it drains well. Space plants 12–18 inches apart for good airflow and room to spread. Rhizomes should be planted just below the surface, with the tops barely covered to prevent rot. Irises are heavy feeders and benefit from fertilizing three times per year: in early spring, right after bloom, and in fall, using a low- or no-nitrogen fertilizer like 0-10-10 when planting or transplanting. Some cultivars may vary in size at shipping. Will begin shipping mid July
