{"product_id":"night-thunder-pseudata-iris-bare-root-plant","title":"Night Thunder Pseudata Iris - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eNight Thunder is one of the first pseudata irises to bloom. Its flowers are a warm peach blend lined with deep purple veins, with darker purple on the upright petals and a prominent yellow signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows about 2 to 2½ feet tall and spreads nearly 4 feet wide, with healthy, vigorous foliage. It is a cross between yellow flag and Japanese iris and is sterile, so it will not seed around. Use it in a moist border, rain garden, or pond edge, or cut the flowers for a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat, open flowers in a peach blend with deep purple veining across the falls; the upright standards carry more solid deep purple color. Each fall has a prominent yellow signal at its base. Flowers are held on upright stems above long, sword-shaped green leaves. The plant forms a broad, upright clump about 26 to 30 inches tall and 44 to 48 inches wide. At peak the warm peach and purple flowers contrast with the fresh green fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis iris prefers more moisture than lavender likes, so place it in a moister bed, rain garden or pond edge, where its early-summer flowers can bloom ahead of the lavender season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to moist soil; it tolerates wetter ground than most garden iris and also handles ordinary border soil if watered in dry spells. Hardy in zones 4-9. The plants are sterile and do not self-seed; cut spent stems after bloom and divide crowded clumps in late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iris × pseudata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peach blend with deep purple veining and a yellow signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad, upright clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–30 in tall × 44 in–4 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
