Reblooming Iris in New Jersey


And the winner is ... Unbelievable Love with 5 months of bloom!!

I find it simply amazing that an iris can show flowers in New Jersey for 5 months of the year ... but that is exactly what Unbelievable Love (introduced by Grise, 1998) has accomplished. In addition to bloom in the spring, this amazing clump (planted in July '08) started reblooming in July. Then August. Then September and into October ... The buds shown below in 10/9 photo opened late October and lasted thru 11/8's killing frost.
