Iris germanica ‘Polite Applause’ (Tall Bearded Iris) has soft pastel-colored falls which contrast perfectly with vibrant glowing tangerine beards. Truly deserving of applause, this exquisite iris stands tall at 33 inches, making it a standout feature in any garden landscape. ‘Polite Applause’ was awarded with an Honorable Mention in 2015 from the Royal Horticultural Society. Plant 'Polite Applause’ in a sunny location with well-drained soil, ensuring the rhizomes are exposed or level with the soil surface. Grouping them in clusters of three or more enhances their visual impact and creates a stunning focal point in the garden. Perfect for mixed borders and rock gardens, use as focal points in foundation plantings, or grow them in containers for patio displays. Once established, Bearded Irises are drought-tolerant, deer resistant, and rabbit resistant, and will spread and multiply when happy.
