Iris germanica 'War Chief'

Iris germanica ‘War Chief’

Iris ‘War Chief’ adds rich, warm color to the garden with bold reddish-maroon blooms on classic tall bearded iris stems. Its deep coloring brings strong contrast to late-spring borders and pairs beautifully with soft yellows, whites, blues, and silver foliage.

This reliable variety blooms in late spring and may rebloom in early fall, extending its color in the garden. Sturdy foliage and upright form make it a strong choice for perennial beds, iris plantings, and cutting gardens.

Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained, fertile soil. Bearded iris perform best when rhizomes are planted shallowly and given good air circulation.
