About Bright Blue Eyes - Bearded Iris

Iris germanica

Seed Type Rhizome

Bright Blue Eyes Bearded Iris is a standard iris cultivar that beautifully blends our favorite colors. Its cream-colored standards have pale yellow veins, while the white falls feature a chartreuse green thumbprint that never goes out of style. This iris blooms early and frequently, as it is a re-blooming variety that offers colorful blooms from early spring and again in summer. Moreover, it boasts a sweet and distinct fragrance. As a dwarf variety, Bright Blue Eyes grows to a maximum height of 11 inches.
