Stairway to Heaven Bearded Iris

I purchased the Stairway to Heaven bearded iris in October of last year. As soon as I received it, I popped it in the ground and waited. Luckily, we had a late frost last year in 8A north Mississippi, so the iris got almost 2 months to put down roots. It has just finished blooming in April 2026 with a stalk that produced five blooms.

This item was packaged well on arrival. While I have planted it for next spring, I can't give a good written review as the Iris will not come up until next year

This fall, I purchased a ridiculous amount of bulbs in hopes for an amazing spring presentation. Every year, I only order from Holland Bulbs and it doesn’t disappoint. I also order for my mother’s yard as her Mother’s Day present. All the bulbs were healthy and nice.

This plant did very well in my garden. The blossom is huge and the sent is slightly sweeter than the blackbeard or blueberry bliss. (Both of those still smell amazing, this one is just sweeter). I would add a photo if I could.

Huge bulb, can’t wait for it to bloom!
