DWARF BEARDED IRISES 
The Dwarf varieties, most of which are under 12 
inches in height, are the earliest bloomers. Gay in 
color and remarkable for their ability to resist 
drought, they make pleasing ornamental clumps in 
the rockery as well as in the front of the border. In 
the following descriptions, S signifies the “standards” 
or upright petals, and F. signifies the “falls” or 
drooping petals.
