- flowering perennial that spreads by rhizomes - showy late spring blooms stand above the leaves - shortest bearded types tend to bloom first (mini and standard dwarfs; MDB, SDB), then mid-size (border and intermediate sizes; BB, IB), then tall bearded (TB) - this is a early to late blooming Standard Dwarf Bearded - grows just 13 inches tall - typical flowers have 3 petal 'falls' with beards, and 3 petal 'standards' (uprights) - falls and uprights are dark purple; beards are mostly white with cream at center - pronounced sweet fragrance - wide grass-like semi-evergreen leaves grow from surface rhizomes - blooms reduce when overcrowded; benefits from division every 3-5 years - plant shallowly, because rhizomes don't like to stay wet even when deep-growing roots do - good for sunny areas, in well-drained soil - grows in USDA zones 3-9
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp - ships during summer dormant season, after bloom time has passed
