Lest We Forget

Note: Iris ship starting in mid-September based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant in fall.

Lest We Forget is a reblooming bearded Iris with unique, smoky red-purple petals and a soft lavender sheen across the falls. Bright tangerine beards add bold contrast at the center. It blooms first in late spring and then again later in the season, giving your garden a second round of color. It grows about 36" tall, is lightly fragrant, and works well as a cut flower. Hardy in Zones 3–9 and deer resistant.

Lest We Forget is sold in packs of 3 for fall planting.

Planting Instructions:

Choose an area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight and has good drainage.
Plant with the rhizome’s top exposed at the surface of the soil and firmly pack the soil around each rhizome.
Space Iris rhizomes 12-24” apart.
Water after planting and continue watering at least once a week for the remainder of the growing season.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS

Cutting
Long, sturdy stems suited for bouquets and floral arrangements.
Deer-Resistant
Less appealing to deer, a reliable choice for vulnerable landscapes.
Full Sun
Requires 6+ hours of direct sunlight to thrive.

IMPORTANT: Bulbs have a separate shipping schedule and arrive independently from the rest of your order through mid-to-late fall. See your order confirmation email for more details.
