Purple People Eater

Description:

Tall and stately, the bearded iris reigns over the garden bed with its dramatic sword-like leaves and droopy purple blossoms. Planting an iris or two in an empty front garden bed adds instant curb appeal to your home and provides a focal point for the garden.

Habitat:

Irises grow well in both coastal and inland regions, although they may do better in a well-drained raised bed in climates with heavy rainfall. Plant new irises anytime from midsummer until mid-October.
