Iris Encyclopedia News Today

Bearded Iris, Iris germanica, is a hardy, long-lived perennial that requires a minimum of maintenance.

"Gardeners can succeed in gardening by having the power to grow plants successfully, garden with health and safety, and enjoy the experience," writes columnist Tom Karwin. "For many gardeners, knowing your plant’s correct botanical names is more satisfying than having a collection of 'mystery plants.'"

It’s a good thing Barbara Walls of Pine has a passion for irises, as they’re everywhere in Rim Country.
