A reliable rebloomer, the Feed Back Tall Bearded Iris (Iris germanica 'Feed Back') reverberates with violet blooms, orangey beards, and non-stop ruffles. This deep-rooted perennial will sate your desire for deep purples when they bloom!
You'll be drawn to the yellow light at the center of the Feed Back Iris. You'll be like a moth to the flame, and hummingbirds and butterflies will also be irresistibly drawn to the golden yellow centers. Even bees will be unable to avert their path when there's a Feed Back Iris nearby!
The Feed Back Tall Bearded Iris will erupt with rich violet blooms in mid-spring and some rebloom in fall. These blue-violet blooms will turn your garden into a sea of purple and strong green stems and stiff, vertical sword-like foliage.
This Iris is just breathtaking! You'll want to stop and take a deep breath of its sweet scent. There's no need to rush though, there is plenty of time to enjoy this remarkable Bearded Iris since it reblooms again in the autumn!
Heat and cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 9, these perennial rhizomes grow about 3 feet in height and only spread 12-18 inches wide. The hardy rhizomes are not only practically squirrel-proof but these perennial's roots are also deer and rabbit-resistant.
Planting and Application:
Plant your reblooming Feed Back Bearded Iris in your woodland garden to create a scene that fairies would faint upon seeing! This variety also makes a wonderful cut flower, so plant a few in your cut garden. To give Feed Back Iris the attention it deserves, try using it as a specimen or plant it as a border beside early bloomers to keep your garden saturated in color all spring long.
Plant several in groupings throughout Cottage gardens, and as backdrops to mixed Perennial gardens. Use as pathway edging, and winding ribbons of lavender color throughout your landscaping beds and borders! That way you and your pollinators will have plenty to enjoy!
Create a bank along your home's foundation, along your driveway, or en masse where they readily naturalize. But if you don't have room for the big displays, these showy blooms fit into small space gardens, container gardens, and mixed planters, while small courtyards in the sun gain brilliant focal points that won't sacrifice space!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
You can't go wrong with this one of these Bearded Iris. In fact, these are incredibly easy to grow! The Bearded Iris appreciates a wide range of soil types including salty soil and it's drought-tolerant once they are established. Plant Feed Back Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil in partial shade or full sun. Use a mounded technique and keep the rhizome partially uncovered for best results.
All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over their roots, especially Iris rhizomes prefer only to be partially covered. Prune your Iris foliage back in late fall near the ground and cover it with an additional layer of mulch. The German Iris will be ready to divide and thin after about two to three years. You don't have to worry about rabbits or deer munching on them either.
