Zone: 3FRINGE OF GOLD BEARDED IRIS
Iris germanica 'Fringe of Gold' ('Fringe of Gold' Bearded Iris) is a classic and prized Bearded Iris known for its two-toned blooms that add a burst of sunshine to the late spring and early summer garden. This tall variety, reaching approximately 30 to 36 inches in height, features nicely ruffled, deep canary-yellow standards (the upright petals) floating above crisp, snow-white falls (the drooping petals). The most distinguishing feature, which gives the iris its name, is a striking, golden-yellow ribbon or fringe elegantly edging the white falls, often with rich golden tones radiating from the deep canary-yellow beard at the center. This robust selection is a mid-to-late season bloomer, with each sturdy, upright flower stem typically boasting 5 to 6 buds, ensuring a long-lasting and impressive floral display.
'Fringe of Gold' Bearded Iris requires a site with full sun (at least six hours daily) and absolutely essential well-drained soil, as its thick rhizomes are highly susceptible to rot in wet conditions. It is a very hardy and low-maintenance plant, thriving across USDA 3 to 9 Zones, and is noted for its tolerance to drought, as well as being resistant to both deer and rabbits.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: For Iris germanica types - Plant in well-draining, sunny soil. When planting, ensure the top of the rhizome is slightly exposed to the air; burying it too deep is a common cause of rot. Water regularly to establish, but avoid overwatering, as this plant prefers drier conditions than many other perennials. Remove spent flower stalks at the base once blooming finishes to maintain a tidy appearance and support plant health.
