Bernice’s Legacy Bearded Iris graces the spring garden with large, ruffled blooms in rich shades of purple, rising above upright sword-like foliage on stately 24 to 36 inch stems. The strikingly elegant flowers have that unmistakable bearded iris character—intricate falls, showy standards, and a subtle fragrance that rewards a close look. Like all bearded iris, it prefers full sun with excellent drainage and low water once established, naturalizing reliably over time as clumps slowly expand. Deer and rabbit resistant, it thrives in perennial borders and cottage garden settings alike. A cherished classic that carries a genuine sense of heirloom quality.
