Botanical Profile

'Triple Whammy' grows to a stately 34-40 inches, making a commanding presence in the border. The blooms are notable for their exceptional form—broad, ruffled petals with heavy substance—and a color combination that delivers impact from both near and far. This mid-to-late season bloomer extends the iris show beautifully.

Standard tall bearded iris culture applies: full sun, excellent drainage, rhizomes at soil surface. Space 18-24 inches apart for this larger cultivar. Fertilize lightly in spring. Ensure good air circulation to prevent leaf spot. Divide every 3-4 years in late summer. 'Triple Whammy' earns its name with a trifecta of beauty, vigor, and reliability.
