EARL OF ESSEX - Tall Bearded Iris - Reblooming Zurbrigg 1980 Honorable Mention 1983 Earl of Essex is one of the best known of the hybridizer's pioneering early work with remontant Iris and a consistent rebloomer here in Oregon. A classic plicata, its clean white petals are heavily veined and stippled with wisteria violet markings with a gentle ruffling and fluting of the softly color petals.Grows to 35 inches tall and blooms early season and reblooms to zone 5.
Iris rhizomes are best divided and transplanted after the plants finish blooming and have enough time to store nutrition in their roots. July through September is the best time to dig them up in Ohio. All Iris are grown on my farm and shipped from my home, bareroot with foliage and roots attached. BONUS rhizomes are always included at an average rate of 1 for every 5 purchased...my choice.
