Reblooming German Iris English Charm

Reblooming German Iris English Charm

Give your customers a novel and exciting iris that has quite the pedigree. Though English Charm has been designated a historical iris, you won't find it in just any garden center or big box store. This gorgeous rebloomer features delicate peach tones that infuse creamy standards above alluring ruffled, apricot falls with tangerine beards and creamy edges. English Charm is a perennial iris—easy to grow and care for and naturalizes readily. The 5" flowers return annually and provide excellent color in mid to late spring, again in midsummer to early fall.

Q
My first blooms are very light colored. Will they be darker & richer color as they mature or can I add something to improve their color These re the only iris I have and bought them for the deeper orange color.
Asked by Linda
Verified Reply - AngelaIt isn't unusual for the first blooms to vary from the standard a bit. The color of the bloom is most affected by the temperatures and sun exposure. There isn't really anything you can do to alter it. The tones of the English Charm Iris are typically peach, apricot and cream. Was this answer helpful to you
