Open Ocean Re-Blooming Bearded Iris captures the calm, luminous beauty of coastal waters in soft, marine blue blooms. Gently pleated petals form a classic sky-blue self, accented by subtle veining on the falls and white-based beards tipped in yellow for just the right touch of contrast. Blooming in midseason with a reliable rebloom and producing up to eight buds per stem, this serene, well-formed iris draws the eye as naturally as the ocean itself.
