Bearded Iris 'Cloud Dweller'

$20.00
Sold Out

CROP FAILURE

1 gallon (this is planted, with roots, in a 1 gallon pot. not a bare root)

Bearded Irises certainly had its moment for us in 2024! We have bought many more this year and had a surplus of bulbs. Our dilemma, your treasure!

Cloud Dweller captures that magical moment as the sun dramatically illuminates cloud formations. Producing 2 branches with 7 buds on a stalk.   This is our first year growing and we are very excited to see her bloom!

Growing Bearded Iris isn’t too tricky but there is a few things you’ll want to do to get the most out of yours. We plant ours with the tuber slightly exposed and divide pretty religiously every 3 years. If you plant yours too deep it won’t bloom. They really don’t mind being dug up and replanted, so if you currently have some being stingy, try to lift the tuber and expose it closer to the surface.

Lycoris radiata or Red Spider Lily. Wow honestly, can you even believe this exists? Truly a beautiful species.  We planted these in the fall of 2022 hoping for a 2023 bloom. They notoriously skip their first and sometimes second year bloom time in th
Dahlia 'Zundert Mystery Fox' an outstanding performer. A juicy raspberry color and a little bit smaller in size than 'Brown Sugar'  We loved growing this one.
When the fog rolls in, early September.
Here is Celosia 'Bar Bossa Champagne' looking absolutely divine. We don't pinch our first flush, letting the crested fans get as big and wavy as possible. Then we cut the side shoots all summer long.

I met Beth Mullins of GROWSGREEN Landscape Design during my time at The Ruth Bancroft Garden.  We would talk about stately Agaves and soft Acacias and all things Protea. When I found out she was also a ceramic artist, we immediately started scheming
