Irises are a great plant for the perennial garden. I particularly love the bearded irises, not only because the flowers are beautiful, but also because the foliage is is very sturdy (it doesn't flop over like some of the other irises), it is a pretty blue-grey color, it does not die back in the heat of summer, and it provides a great spiky texture to the flowerbed. I think bearded irises add a lot even when they are not in bloom. And they are not in bloom most of the year!
The irises in the pictures above are 'Persian Berry' Bearded Irises.
