The tall, beautiful iris, named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, is one of the oldest garden flowers. In spring, bearded irises unfurl their buds to reveal a kaleidoscope of color.
Irises are hardy, reliable, easy to grow, and are deer-resistant and drought-tolerant. They also attract butterflies, hummingbirds and make lovely cut flower bouquets. These perennials flourish where winter temperatures dip below freezing and allow the plant to go dormant before next year's growth. They double from year to year. And if you choose, you can divide them for different locations in your gardens or to share with a friend.
There are some 200 to 300 species in the genus Iris. The most familiar irises are the tall bearded irises, named for the soft hairs along the center of the falls.
