Iris 'Ultimate' - Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris
- 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 midseason 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 yellow with a dark mahogany spot on falls edged with yellow; beards are yellow
- this cultivar has a slight spicy fragrance and may rebloom
- 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
