Bearded Iris ‘Jurassic Park’

Bearded Iris are one of the stars of the spring perennial garden, and are quite easy to grow.

In April and May this variety sends up sturdy stems up to 36 inches high, often with multiple buds on them.

The flowers open revealing light yellow standards and purple falls.

It prefers full sun or part shade, with its sword-like leaves forming a clump 1-2 feet wide and standing up to 18-30 inches high.

When planting, don’t cover the Iris bulb (rhizome). Leave the top of it exposed as it would grow naturally.

Hardy in zones 3-10.
