Iris germanica 'Renown' - Renown Bearded Iris

Renown Bearded Iris is a no-bulb reblooming perennial, with a clumping habit and  long sword-like foliage that fans upwards. Sturdy central stalks sport large, sweetly fragrant stark white flowers with slight yellow throats in early summer and again in late summer.  Prefers partial sun and rich, moist to wet well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance.  Water regularly, then occasionally once established.  Can cut back any dying foliage after flowering.  Some major issues can be soft root, crown rot, and leaf spot. Watch for molting and remove any affected leaves.  Avoid overcrowding and too much shade to lessen the chance of these issues.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Water Gardens, Ponds and Streams, Foundation Plantings, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Joe Pye Weed, Coral Bells, Sedge
