Border Bearded (BB) are shorter growing tall bearded and require similar conditions.

ArilBred (AB) are a cross between a tall bearded iris and an Aril (desert) iris. These need less watering and often become dormant in late summer.

Intermediate Irises (IB) are crosses between dwarf and tall bearded and require a bit more cooling and a bit more watering than tall bearded.

Median Favourites

These are highly floriferous and form delightful flower carpets. They are easy to grow but do require full sun and frosty winters and loose well-drained soil. Do not allow to dry out totally, over summer.
