   This is a lovely iris, the most beautiful blue in my garden. I eagerly anticipate it’s blooms each spring.

   […] The Iris Dover beach is a german Iris. It blooms for me in my US Zone 5b, or Canadian zone 6b garden in mid to late June. It has the most beautiful light blue blooms that I’ve ever seen. German Iris’ like to be planted shallowly. They will not bloom if planted too deeply, just the same as Peonies. Once the blooms fade away cut off the stems so the plants can put their energy into building up strength for next years blooms. Divide the plant in early spring. […]
