Banana Fudge German Iris
German Iris are among the most dazzling of all iris
varieties. With their full, ruffled falls, lush upright
petals and a dizzying array of color combinations,
these popular perennials rival orchids for beauty
but are much easier to grow.
Each sturdy stem has several buds just waiting
for its turn to shine. A steady progression of
blooms keeps beds, borders and rock gardens alive
with color in late spring.
Plant all six varieties for a bold and beautiful
display in your garden. The landscape possibilities
are endless!
