Dog Days German Iris brings bold, warm color to sunny borders when tall bearded irises are at their best. With 36" bloom stalks, strong growth and a midseason to very late bloom window, it gives gardeners a longer-lasting display than many single-season spring favorites.
More bloom from every stalk
For gardeners who want a fuller show, Dog Days delivers strong value. Each show stalk can carry 3–4 branches and 10–11 buds, with flowers opening in sequence instead of all at once. That means more days of color from each established clump. Its midseason to very late bloom timing also helps stretch the tall bearded iris season, filling the garden with color as earlier varieties begin to fade.
Deer and rabbit resistant
Dog Days is a smart choice for sunny gardens where deer and rabbits are common concerns. These animals tend to avoid bearded irises, helping you enjoy the planting with fewer browsing worries. Use it in mixed perennial borders, cottage gardens or iris beds where you want a strong ornamental payoff without choosing a plant that is especially tempting to wildlife.
Strong color for sunny borders
The warm blend of caramel, butter yellow, russet, red-plum and dusky tangerine gives this iris a rich, sun-baked look that stands out among cooler spring shades. It pairs well with alliums, salvia, catmint, baptisia, roses, daylilies and ornamental grasses, giving you plenty of ways to build a coordinated late-spring border.
Easy-care performance in the right site
Plant Dog Days in full sun with well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and prefers summer dryness around the rhizome. Its strong, hardy growth helps clumps fill in over time, giving gardeners a durable, showy perennial that rewards simple, proper care.
