Irises of Rainbow Hues 
Perhaps you have always known Irises as “Blue Flags,” but that name 
does not do justice to the Irises of today. Instead of the deep blue color you 
know so well, we now have a myriad of tints and shades. Purples, whites, 
yellows, lavenders, are some of them. 
Irises should be planted any time from August 15 to frost, or early in the 
spring. Fall planting is best, for it gives them a chance to become established 
before winter, and also makes blooming possible the following spring.
