Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Raspberry Blush' is a short bearded iris, with dusky, pale pink standard petals and pale pink falls with an orange beard.
Grow it in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, ideally dotted through herbaceous plants in groups of three or five. Due to its shorter growth habit, Iris 'Raspberry Blush' is suitable for growing on slopes and in more exposed gardens.
For best results grow in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
