Iris (Iris x 'Jennifer Rebecca') - Description

They bloom in spring and fall! We are offering some of the best Reblooming German Iris varieties available. Reblooming Iris have a tendency to send up additional bloom stalks in August, September or October. In warmer climates, they may bloom continuously for most of the year. Normal spring bloom is usually the best, the later fall bloom sometimes does not branch quite as well. Additional feeding of 10-10-10 or similar fertilizer about two weeks following spring bloom along with frequent watering will encourage re-bloom. Be careful not to over water, causing the iris to rot.
