Intermediate

Intermediate Bearded or IB irises are 40-70cm in height, with blooms 9 - 13 cm in width.

They have a substantially erect habit with stalks extending above the foliage. NB. rhizomes of IB's are smaller than TB's. 

Being shorter, often scented and reblooming they are perfect for the front of a garden border, near a path, window or seat from where you can enjoy the scent and colours close up.

The IB class generally flower between the Standard Dwarf Bearded and the Tall Bearded irises.

NB. IB iris tend to have small rhizomes, not that this effects flowering.
