Victoria Falls Reblooming Bearded Iris

Pale Blue Blooms That Come Back for a Second Show

Victoria Falls earns its name honestly. Each pale blue fall carries a bright patch of white in the center, lit up by a crisp white beard, so the flower catches light the way sun glances off rushing water. Ruffled, broad-petaled, and carried on tall 40-inch stems, it is a Dykes Medal winner that has been in gardens long enough to earn historic status with the American Iris Society.

This is a rebloomer, which means you get the classic late spring to early summer flush and then a second round in late summer or early fall. It thrives in sun to part shade across zones 4-9, tolerates dry spells once settled, and works just as well in a large container on a sunny patio as it does anchoring a perennial border.

Why You'll Love the Victoria Falls Bearded Iris

• Two bloom seasons: flowers in late spring and again in late summer to early fall.
• Award-winning form: a Dykes Medal winner with ruffled pale blue falls and snow-white beards.
• Tall garden presence: 40-inch stems rise above lower perennials for instant height.
• Low maintenance: drought tolerant once established and generally passed over by deer and rabbits.
• Multiplies over time: rhizomes spread into larger clumps you can divide and share.

Plant a few this season and you will have a clump worth dividing in a couple of years.
