Bearded Iris

(Iris x germanica)

Bearded iris is a lovely fire-resistant perennial that can have a place in any garden. It provides late spring interest with its large, ruffled blooms that come in a variety of colours. After the flowers fade the swordlike leaves provide an interesting texture. Deer are not particularly fond of this drought tolerant plant.
