_______________________________________________
Spuria

These are tall plants that like to stay in an established clump.They can also have very exotic colour mixes and add drama to the garden. The foliage usually dies down in the fall. They start to flower about two weeks after the Tall Bearded have started. They can extend the time you have Iris in bloom or fill in the gap before the rebloomers  start their fall bloom. They are very good as cut flowers and can be cut before the flower opens.
