You’ll want to admire the beautiful form of the Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris when it blooms. Upright and drooping petals in pure white sit on top of tall stems with narrow green foliage that comes to a point. The Iris germanica blooms around June and again during the late summer, so you have two chances to enjoy the gently ruffled flowers. The graceful blooms are not only gorgeous, but they also have a sweet scent for even more of a reason to love this striking perennial.

At 24 to 30 inches tall, this bearded Iris is a great plant to feature in beds, borders, or mass plantings. This upright perennial is very low maintenance and thrives with little care; although it does not like wet feet, it must have well-draining soil. The Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris is a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8. Bees and other pollinators are attracted to the lovely flowers.

Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris Care

Partial sun to full shade is required for this Iris. Ideally, the plant will need about 5 hours of sunlight each day. Water once a week or whenever the soil dries out. In keeping with its low maintenance reputation, this plant is not very picky about the type of soil, as long as it promotes drainage. Apply a balanced plant food before the flowers emerge in the spring. Feed the plants again around midsummer after the first round of flowers dies back but before the second round emerges.

Remove spent flowers, especially after the first bloom cycle, to promote more blooms during the second flush. Cut the growth back to about six inches in the fall to prepare the plant for winter. Iris plants can be propagated through division, and the plant will likely need to be divided every few years or whenever it becomes too compact or starts to outgrow its spot.

Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris Spacing

The upright Immortality Reblooming Bearded Iris will grow 24 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Space plants as close as 18 to 20 inches, or space them further, and they will fill in empty areas with time.
