Reblooming Tall Bearded Iris 'Feed Back' – Violet-Blue, Yellow Beards, 36", Fragrant

Admired everywhere it grows, Reblooming Tall Bearded Iris 'Feed Back' (Iris germanica) rewards the garden with intense violet-blue flowers, ruffled petals, and bright yellow beards. Noticeably sweet fragrance and strong 36" stems make it a natural choice for borders and cutting. It blooms twice — first in late spring and again in late summer — and will appreciate a light fertilizer application after its first flush. Deer resistant and drought tolerant.
