Bearded Iris Japanese Iris Siberian Iris Phlox - Creeping Spring Bloomer Phlox - Summer Pin Cushion Flower Pin Cushion Flower Butterfly Blue Pin Cushion Flower Pink Mist Iris There are hundreds of different varieties of gorgeous iris for the garden, from tiny 4 inch tall bulbs that bloom in February to June blooming swamp plants that grow 5 feet tall. The most popular ones for our gardens are the bearded, Siberian, Japanese and Louisiana. The bearded iris come in every color of the rainbow, need full sun, and have a thick rhizome that needs to sit on the surface of the soil. Siberian iris have beautiful grass like foliage that is attractive long after the flowers have past, and come in blue, purple, white, and yellow. Japanese and Louisiana iris have the largest flowers and tallest foliage and will grow in well watered garden soil or at the edge of a pond. Phlox Both the spring blooming groundcover moss phlox, commonly known as thrift, and the tall, summer blooming garden phlox make long lived, easy to grow perennials. Both come in white, pink, rose, and purple. Thrift is a low growing, spreading groundcover that blooms for 3 to 4 weeks in early spring. Garden phlox has massed heads of flowers on upright stems and can grow 2 to 5 feet tall. Pin Cushion This has blue or pink daisy like blooms around a pin cushion center on tall stems. It likes limey to neutral soil. Blooms last through the summer if spent blossoms are removed. It makes a good cut flower. copyright 2008 The Barn Nursery The Barn Nursery  •  I-24 at the 4th Avenue exit  •  Chattanooga, Tennessee  •  423-698-BARN
