For most people, the word Iris conjures up visions of brilliant June flowers, for perennial Irises are among the best known and loved of garden plants. This huge genus contains upward of 200 species, which range from timid and inconspicuous wildings to splendid Tall Bearded Iris that can rebloom in fall. Their preferred habitats range from standing water to formal borders, and there is scarcely a shade or combination of colors that can’t be found.
