Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Iridaceae
Plant Description: This perennial can bring a dramatic burst of color into any garden with its wine-red petals and purple-blue beards. This shorter Iris is perfect for a sunny border or a snug spot in a rock garden. They enjoy full to part sun, and bloom in the early spring.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
