Iris 'Best Bet'

Very floriferous, award-winner Iris 'Best Bet' is a remarkable reblooming iris with richly colored blossoms that create drama in the spring garden. The flowers of this tall bearded iris exhibit gently ruffled, light wisteria blue standards that float elegantly above a sea of deep hyacinth blue falls. Rising 36 inches high (90 cm) atop a lovely blue-green sword-shaped foliage, 'Best Bet' is a reliable, sturdy and vigorous grower - and understandably, a very popular reblooming iris. This early bearded iris usually produces 2 to 3 stems per plant early in the bloom season and then rewards us with new blooms in the fall.
Bearded irises are classified by height and flower size into 6 groups. Since these groups bloom at slightly different time, combining specimens from different groups will extend your color display for a couple weeks.

3-6 hours of sun per day, with protection from intense mid-day sun

Water moderately, allowing the top 3cm to dry out between watering.
