Description / Iris Chestnuts Roasting Bearded Iris
Enhance your garden with the striking Chestnuts Roasting Tall Bearded Iris, reaching an impressive height of 3 feet. This mid-spring bloomer features a vibrant mix of toasted umber, dark orange, rustic red, and a hint of gold, all highlighted by mustard gold beards. The heavily ruffled and laced petals make a stunning addition to spring bouquets and mixed floral arrangements. In the garden, their slightly musky fragrance draws butterflies and other pollinators, adding to the allure of your outdoor space.
Chestnuts Roasting is a robust Iris germanica cultivar known for its upright, clumping growth habit. This rhizomatous perennial boasts well-branched stems with numerous buds, all emerging from a base of long, slender blue-green leaves. These leaves not only create a striking architectural backdrop but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the plant.
Perfect for adding structure and vibrant hues to mixed borders, beds, and foundation plantings, bearded irises shine when grouped or massed together. If overcrowding occurs, simply divide and replant them in other garden areas to maintain vigor and expand your Chestnuts Roasting iris collection.
Naturally hardy and low-maintenance, bearded irises flourish in sunny to partly shady locations with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. They thrive in well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH of 6.1 to 7.2. While they prefer consistent moisture, bearded irises do not tolerate wet feet, which can lead to rhizome rot. Once established, these irises exhibit excellent drought and heat tolerance. To ensure optimal growth, fertilize in spring about 6 weeks before blooming with Espoma Organic® Flower-tone® Blossom Booster. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming. Additionally, these irises are deer and rabbit resistant, making them a resilient and beautiful choice for your garden.
