Immerse yourself in the beauty of the 'Cherished' Bearded Iris, a perennial that brings elegance and fragrance to any garden. Its variegated grey-green foliage forms the perfect backdrop for the fragrant, soft pink flowers, highlighted by vibrant orange beards. These blooms grace the garden from April to May, standing on erect stems and featuring delicately wavy petals that captivate all who see them.

Bearded Irises, particularly the 'Cherished' variety, are celebrated for their low maintenance and high impact. They provide not only stunning blooms suitable for indoor arrangements but also, post-bloom, their foliage remains an attractive feature within the garden, complementing other perennials with their silvery-green leaves.

'Cherished' Irises thrive in full sun, requiring well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. They reach up to 90 cm in height with a spread of 30 cm, flourishing in conditions that allow their blooms to fully open and display their splendor.

To plant, choose a time in late summer or early spring, placing the rhizomes at soil level in well-draining conditions on small mounds, spaced 15 to 40 cm apart depending on the desired cluster size. In colder climates, consider a winter cover of peat moss or compost to protect the plants.

Add the 'Cherished' Bearded Iris to your garden for a touch of refined beauty. Ensure the soil is well-draining yet kept moist during the plant's first year to guarantee a garden filled with magnificent blooms and lush foliage for years to come.

This offer comes with one 'Cherished' Iris seedling, complete with expert cultivation advice to help you nurture this exquisite plant into a stunning feature of your garden.
