White Flower Farm Reblooming Iris Presby's Crown Jewel
Chosen to honor the 75th anniversary of Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair, New Jersey, this reblooming Tall Bearded Iris is indeed special. 'Presby's Crown Jewel' carries 7?9 large, 6in ruffled flowers of glistening white with dark,... violet-blue edges (a pattern known as "plicata") on each stem. There is a small but growing number of Bearded Iris that bloom gloriously in June, then flower again in late summer and into fall. They have no requirements beyond a light dose of fertilizer once the first bloom is complete and regular watering when things get hot and dry. This small effort is amply rewarded as the season draws to a close. Iris is a large genus with upwards of 200 species, which range from inconspicuous wildlings to the extravagant Tall Bearded Iris, which we offer in fall only. Plenty of sun and well-drained soil with a pH near neutral are the primary requirements for their success. Bearded Irises are best planted in the fall because they go dormant in June and are harvested in August. We start shipping bareroot plants in early September, continue to late October for warmer zones. For Zones 3?4 (yes, they are hardy in Zone 3), we recommend early orders, which we will fill in early to mid-September. read more
