Iris germanica, the iconic bearded iris, is a rhizomatous perennial prized for its large, fragrant flowers and striking sword-shaped, gray-green foliage. It typically grows in dense clumps, producing sturdy, branched stems that bear showy blooms in late spring. Ideal for sunny borders and cottage gardens, it thrives in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. This hardy plant is drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.
