Summer Olympics Reblooming Bearded Iris

Bright, frilly iris is one of the season's first to bloom
Summer Olympics is a cheerfully coloured and heavily ruffled cultivar that's one of the first irises of the season to bloom—and then reliably reblooms later in the year. Opening on 31" stems in mid spring, the elegant, lime-yellow flowers display some white in the centre of their falls, creating a bitone effect. These slightly sweet-smelling blooms return for an encore performance from late summer to early fall. An excellent choice for brightening a bed of mixed perennials or a mid-spring border, and a welcome addition to any fresh-cut arrangement. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid this and other bearded irises. Introduced in 1976.
