Bearded irises are so-named after the 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Tall bearded irises grow to a height of around 70cm or more, and flower in late-spring and early summer.

Iris 'Blue Staccato' grows to a height of 100cm. The heavily scented flowers are white with blue speckling and blue beards. It's perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, and makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results grow Iris 'Blue Staccato' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
