A wood violet center line leads to abbey violet beards top-layered mustard in the throat. Stalwart seven-budded sentinel to watch over the close of the bearded iris festivities.

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.
