IRISES—Dwarf Bearded 
DWARF BEARDED IRISES 
These are among the earliest Irises to bloom in the garden. Blooming in 
April and early May, they afford an early glimpse of the later, tall bearded Iris 
season. The dwarfs are adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions and 
are especially suited to borders and rock gardens. The rhizomes of this division 
usually are quite small, and should not be allowed to dry out before the plants 
become established.
