Reblooming Bearded Iris 'Hemstitched' – Fragrant, White with Lilac Edging

Elegant and heirloom-inspired, Reblooming Bearded Iris 'Hemstitched' (Iris germanica) produces pristine white, ruffle-edged blooms delicately etched in lilac — reminiscent of antique lacework. Fragrant and a natural rebloomer, 'Hemstitched' inherited its repeat-blooming habit from its celebrated parent and delivers two flushes of flowers per season. Perennial, deer resistant, and drought tolerant — a refined choice for any sunny border.
