Bearded Irises are hardy perennials that are very easy to grow. They bloom in late spring, typically after tulips and daffodils. Plant in medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Plant pre-potted iris in late spring or dry roots in late summer. Irises are popular for their beauty and in many cultures for their meaning.

  • In ancient Greek times, “eiris” meant “messenger” or “eloquence”, which related to the messages the Greek goddess, Iris, carried.
  • In Japanese culture – iris is revered for its purifying properties. It had the ability to remove evil energies
  • The Chinese portrayed the iris in a lighter form - it was seen as “the dancing spirit of early summer.”
  • Less of a culture but more during a period in time, the Victorian Era, irises represented faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration.
