Iris 'Cherry Blossom Song' – A Mid-Season Bloomer That Makes You Want to Sing
Bold, ruffled, and absolutely gorgeous, Iris 'Cherry Blossom Song' (Iris germanica) is one of the most striking mid-season bearded irises you can grow. Showy flamingo pink standards billow above wonderfully striped and striated cerise-purple falls, with bright tangerine beards peeking from the center — a vivid combination that catches every eye and holds it. Growing to an impressive 36 inches tall, it's a natural showstopper at the back of the border.
A purebred iris of the highest caliber, 'Cherry Blossom Song' boasts a distinguished lineage including 'So Fine', 'Sweet Musette', and 'Frances Gaulter'. Deer resistant and wonderfully low-maintenance, it's equally at home in cottage gardens, woodland edges, and formal perennial beds. Hardy from Zones 3–10 with no cold period required.

- Firm soil around each rhizome and water well to settle.
Care Tips
- Fertilize in early spring and again in late summer.
- Divide clumps every 3–4 years (August) as rhizomes spread and can become crowded — a great way to expand your collection!
