Iris, MDB 'African Wine' - Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris
Iris MDB 'African Wine' - Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris
- flowering perennial that spreads by rhizomes
- showy late spring blooms stand above the leaves
- shortest bearded types tend to bloom first (mini and standard dwarfs; MDB, SDB), then mid-size (border and intermediate sizes; BB, IB), then tall bearded (TB)
- this is a midseason blooming Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris
- grows to 8 inches tall
- typical flowers have 3 petal 'falls' with beards, and 3 petal 'standards' (uprights)
- falls and uprights are two-tone burgundy with lighter edging; beards are burnt orange with lavender tips
- this cultivar is ruffled, and has a slight fragrance
- wide grass-like semi-evergreen leaves grow from surface rhizomes
- blooms reduce when overcrowded; benefits from division every 3-5 years
- plant shallowly, because rhizomes don't like to stay wet even when deep-growing roots do
- good for sunny areas, in well-drained soil
- grows in USDA zones 3-9
- ships as a freshly dug bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships during summer dormant season, after bloom time has passed
