Earl of Essex Bearded Iris - Reblooming

Unlock the secret to a garden that blooms with a double dose of beauty. The 'Earl of Essex' reblooming bearded iris gives you a spectacular show not once, but twice a year, with its stunning white standards and falls heavily veined and stippled in violet-purple. This tall bearded iris reaches up to 35 inches in height, making it a dramatic focal point in any landscape. It thrives in full sun, needing at least six to eight hours a day to produce its best flowers.

Reblooming irises are also a fantastic, low-maintenance choice for gardeners in zones 7-8. They are tough, drought-tolerant, and best of all, resistant to deer and rabbits, who find the rhizomes unappealing. To get your 'Earl of Essex' off to the best start, plant the rhizome so the top is just visible above the soil line in a well-draining bed. Mix one part Watters Premium Mulch into two parts native soil to improve drainage, and add a handful of Bone Meal to the planting hole to fuel strong root and flower growth. Finish with a gentle watering and a sprinkle of Humic and Watters All Purpose Plant Food around the base to ensure your iris has everything it needs for a lifetime of spectacular blooms.
