English Charm Reblooming Bearded Iris

Peach-and-Apricot Ruffles That Show Up Twice a Year

English Charm opens creamy standards brushed with a soft peach glow above ruffled apricot falls edged in cream, each one lit up by a bright tangerine beard. Sturdy 34-inch stems hold the flowers well above the fan of sword-shaped blue-green foliage, so the color reads clearly from across the yard.

The best part is the encore. This bearded iris blooms in mid to late spring with the rest of the iris crowd, then reblooms in late summer or early fall when most perennials are winding down. It thrives in sun to part shade in zones 4-9, tolerates dry spells once established, and grows just as happily in a large container on a sunny patio as it does in a border.

Why You'll Love the English Charm Bearded Iris

• Two bloom cycles: flowers in mid to late spring, then again in late summer to early fall.
• Soft, unusual color: creamy peach standards, ruffled apricot falls, and tangerine beards.
• Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant: once rooted in, it asks for little more than sun and good drainage.
• Deer and rabbit resistant: browsing animals typically leave iris rhizomes and foliage alone.
• Great for cutting and containers: tall stems suit bouquets, and clumps do well in wide patio pots.

Plant a few rhizomes this season and enjoy peach-toned blooms in both spring and fall.
