Japanese Iris (Kaempferi) 
FM 182. Japanese Iris in the early days were called Children of 
the Gods, because of their gorgeous colors. Few plants can com- 
pare with them for spectacular beauty. They bloom in June and 
July after the other Iris are through. Large, flat flowers, some as 
large as dinner plates, atop strong stems around 3 feet tall. The 
colors range from white through shades of lavender, blue and 
purple, also yellow, pink, rose and red. The foliage itself is attrac- 
tive. When planting cover the crown with two inches of soil. 
Likes a sunny spot, rich soil and abundant moisture, especially 
early in the season and during blooming time. They like an acid 
soil (the average soil is generally acid) and will not tolerate lime. 
They are grown from coast to coast. We offer these in a fine mix- 
ture of colors. Mulch them after the ground freezes.
