For home gardeners and gardening pros, there is little that delights as well as a springtime border or garden bed filled to the brim with lush and lavish bearded iris. Recurring Delight does exactly that, with fragrant bicolor flowers that bloom from May to June, and then bloom again from August to October. This aptly named iris features chic gray-yellow standards with lavender midribs atop luxuriant blue-violet falls. They are wonderfully hardy and drought tolerant, while also resisting pests and diseases quite well. We suggest planting in groups, either as a single-variety display or alongside a variety of iris. Recurring Delight also makes an excellent cut flower. #1 rhizomes.
