Product Details
Varying shades of pink with warm yellow highlights produce the masterfully colored, fragrant flowers of Iris germanica ‘Angel’s Rest.’ The daintily ruffled blooms have sweet pink standards suffused with grenadine at the base, and broad, pink falls subtly brushed in gold. This Iris was christened for a hiking trail in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge where climbers who reach the 1,640-foot summit are said to walk among the angels.
Named after the distinctive fuzzy beards upon their lower petals, or falls, Bearded Iris grow from modified stems called rhizomes, which extend horizontally in the soil and send out roots and shoots from nodes. The American Iris Society has classified them into six groups differentiated mainly by height, from the Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris (up to 8″ tall) to the Tall Bearded Iris (27½” tall or more). The huge array of Bearded Iris cultivars includes flowers of every possible color. Here in Connecticut, they bloom in June, with some varieties occasionally sending forth a second round of blossoms in summer or early fall. Plenty of sun and good drainage are the primary requirements for success. Bearded Iris will repeat their lavish display for many years.
The Iris genus is named for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, and it’s easy to see why. These brilliantly colored, spring-flowering perennials are part of a huge plant family that contains upwards of 300 species which are native to Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. Iris range from timid and inconspicuous wildlings to the splendid and extravagant Tall Bearded Iris, which create striking vertical highlights in the late spring border. The chosen habitats of Iris range from standing water to formal borders, and there is scarcely a color or combination of colors that can’t be found. Iris plants are fairly indestructible. They thrive in most parts of the country and are largely critter resistant. Adding to their appeal, they are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Even after bloom, the vertical foliage persists through the growing season. Plant a variety and enjoy a rainbow of colors that will return year after year in your garden.

Iris Germanica ‘Angel’s Rest’ is a beautiful plant, but I found it to be a bit finicky in terms of soil requirements. It didn’t do well in my clay-heavy soil until I amended it with compost. Once it settled in, though, it produced some of the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen. Patience and the right soil conditions are key with this one.
