Iris e. 'Pinkerton' #1

Common Name: Japanese Iris

A beautiful Japanese Iris with soft pink flowers. Pink crests arch above six bands of showy falls with dark veining and rippled edges. Bloom size on 'Pinkerton' is consistent with other Japanese Iris at 7" wide, nearly twice the size of some Siberian Iris. These plants are later to bloom, sometimes not flowering until a month after Siberian Iris have started.

'Pinkerton' grows 3' tall and 2' wide. Plant in full sun to part shade and provide consistent moisture. Hardy to Zone 4.

Unlike the Tall Bearded Iris, the beardless Japanese Iris has a flat bloom, narrower leaves, and smaller, more compact rhizomes. They have the largest flowers of all irises, and make wonderful spring accents for the edge of water gardens. J
