Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Butterscotch Kiss' is a large-flowered tall bearded iris with slightly ruffled, caramel-yellow flowers with dark veining and a fruity fragrance. It's perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, ideally dotted through herbaceous plants in groups of three or five.

For best results grow Iris 'Butterscotch Kiss' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
