Butter Me Up Bearded Iris

With its towering height and colossal blooms, this sublimely hued perennial commands the spotlight in late-spring borders. Each 6–6½" flower opens to reveal soft yellow standards brushed with peach and rich peach-colored falls accented by vibrant orange beards. Deer and rabbits tend to leave bearded irises alone, making them a reliable choice for gardens with hungry visitors. Hybridized by Breck’s own iris breeder Christian Bédard, Butter Me Up is not just beautiful but also hardworking. It returns year after year and slowly spreads over time to form bigger, bolder clumps.
