Hello,

I've never grown irises before, and I'm wondering if there are particular varieties that provide a nice long show of foliage before dying down. Looking at photos, I think I'm partial to bearded irises.

Many thanks!

Tall Bearded Iris do not loose their leaves in winter although they can get
a bit tatty by the spring when they start into quick growth before
flowering. Do remember they must have sun on the rhizome so don't shade them
with other plants.
