German Bearded Iris Superstition
Superstition Bearded Iris is one of the blackest, bearded iris available. The blooms emerge jet-black, turning a deep dark purple with a black tint. Superstition Iris is stunning in the garden when paired with white flowering perennials or white roses. Superstition iris also makes a dramatic cut flower, with three or five cut iris stalks, filling a slender vase to make a statement.

Nomenclature:
According to Greek myth, Iris, goddess of the rainbow, served as an emissary of the gods. She traveled along rainbows, and colorful iris flowers sprang up wherever she alighted.
Caring for Superstition Iris:
Iris plants grow best when planted in full sun and well-drained garden soil. Avoid overly wet soil, which can cause bulb rot. If wind is an issue, stake flowers once they start to bloom. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Once irises are finished blooming, trim the entire flower stack back to the ground to prevent seed heads from forming. In the fall, trim back iris foliage and mulch for winter protection. A nice layer of snow makes a good blanket for hardy iris. Fertilize with a slow release, organic fertilizer.
