Iris TB ‘Chasing Rainbows'
Iris 'Chasing Rainbows' is a spectacular, heavily-ruffled cultivar in shades of peach, pink, cream, yellow, and lavender.
Description:
'Chasing Rainbows' is one of the most beautiful bearded iris we have ever seen with sigh-worthy pastel shades of peach, pink, cream, yellow, and lavender gracing heavily ruffled standards and falls. Tall Bearded (TB) irises, previously known as Iris germanica, have greyish strap-like, pointed leaves from fleshy rhizomes and tall stems of gorgeous, often fragrant, flowers that come in every colour of the rainbow. Divide every two to three years (or when clumps become congested and flowering decreases) just after blooming. Trim the foliage back to a third and plant the rhizomes at or just below soil level. Deer and rabbit resistant.
