Iris 'Orageux'

Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Orageux' is an intermediate bearded iris with striking copper-orange standard petals and deep red fall petals, on short stems.

Grow it in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden. Being a shorter variety, Iris 'Orageux' is suitable for growing on slopes or windy locations.

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