‘Sea of Love’ Reblooming Bearded Iris bathes the mid-to-late spring garden in gentle shades of powder blue petals washed with lavender. At 33 inches tall they will fit right into the garden - so many flowers will harmonize with ‘Sea of Love’ soft blue flowers. Easy to grow, plant them in a sunny spot with good drainage, in groups of three or more for best interest. Keep the top of the rhizomes exposed or even with the top of the soil. Once established, Bearded Irises are drought-tolerant, deer resistant, and rabbit resistant, and will spread and multiply when happy. Reblooming Bearded Irises will bloom a second time, as long as the soil, climate, and garden conditions are well suited. Once flowers have faded, this versatile plant’s eye-catching vertical foliage will continue to enhance the perennial garden. Plant with ornamental grasses and other water-thrifty, late spring bloomers such as Allium and Oriental Poppies. Lavender, Gaillardia, Echinacea, and Salvia will benefit from the striking foliage as a backdrop. ‘Sea of Love’ Reblooming Bearded Iris received an American Iris Society Honorable Mention in 2008.
