Iris germanica ‘Limonada’
‘Limonada’ is a vibrant reblooming bearded iris that brightens the garden with its fresh lemon-yellow blooms and ruffled petals. This elegant perennial produces tall flower stalks above classic sword-like foliage, delivering bold spring color and often a second round of blooms later in the season.
Perfect for perennial beds, borders, and cottage gardens, ‘Limonada’ brings cheerful color and strong garden performance year after year. Its sturdy stems and striking flowers also make it a wonderful choice for cut flower arrangements.
This iris thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where its rhizomes can stay warm and dry. Plant rhizomes shallowly with the top portion slightly exposed to prevent rot. Once established, ‘Limonada’ is drought tolerant, hardy, and easy to grow, making it a dependable addition to sunny garden spaces.
