Immortality

Raised by Lloyd Zurbrigg in 1982, a pure white throughout, beard included. About 76cm, flowering May and June, and then reliably again in the autumn, which is where the name comes from. Few bearded irises give two seasons from one planting.

Plant the rhizome so that its top sits at the surface and stays exposed to the sun, on a low mound with the roots spread down either side, about 30cm apart. Do not mulch over it or let neighbours shade it; sun on the rhizome is what makes it flower.

Not available for autumn 2026. We are not supplying Immortality this season, though we hope to offer it again. The bearded iris we do have are Bianca, pure white with a yellow throat; Red Wine, copper orange with deep wine-red outer petals; and Sugar Blues, a lovely shade of blue with an orange yellow beard. All three are on our Iris Germanica (Bearded Iris) page.
