Bearded irises grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10. The best time to divide these plants is four to six weeks after they bloom -- midsummer to early fall -- every two to three years when blooming decreases.
This midseason iris reaches about 30 inches tall and is one of the most reliable rebloomers, producing a second crop of flowers in the fall. Tip: Like standard irises, rebloomers are classified by their season of spring bloom, from early to late season. In addition to the first bloom, rebloomers will flower again after rest period, usually in the fall. Learn all about growing and caring for bearded irises.
