Ours came from Home Depot as Bearded. We put them in shallow water at
first...in a tray on top of one of our barrels. Now one group is in the
pond at the base of the falls. No rot . Good multiplication.
==========================
People move the name tags and some plants are misnamed at the nurseries
before shipping. It is highly unlikely what you have is a true bearded
iris. But then you may have some kind of hybrid or mutation. I have swamp
iris in yellow, blue, purple and a deep maroon with yellow - almost red.
They're beautiful plants when in bloom. I hope I can find them this fall as
we had to remove all the plants from both ponds to clean and do some
repairs. I have hundreds of extra pond plants behind the house. I actually
misplace my favorites.... :-(
