SPURIA IRIS 
Spurias require very little care, and can be left in a 
permanent location, so should be given room in which to 
grow. They thrive in full sun, or partial shade, and do best 
if kept well watered in the early spring and throughout the 
blooming season. We recommend planting in the fall, but 
it is possible to ship early in the spring. Keep very moist 
until established. Perfectly hardy, they are worthwhile ad- 
ditions to any garden. Spurias bloom at the same time as the 
late flowering bearded iris.
