Rasputin Bearded Iris is a fragrant bicolor variety, tall and stately, known for its hardiness and beauty. Blooming in the mid-season, it stands out in the garden with its large, ruffled apricot standards resting above vivid scarlet-pink ruffled falls. Bright tangerine beards are complemented by clusters of light peach veins. With 10 buds per stem, Rasputin proves to be a prolific bloomer once it establishes itself.

    Customer photo review of Bearded Iris Bulbs - Rasputin

    Rasputin did not disappoint! It’s gorgeous! The purple is deep and rich. I was expecting the center to be more a pale apricot color, but the gold is no less beautiful. It grew healthy but did not bloom its first year. Hang in there for blooms in year 2.

    Customer photo review of Bearded Iris Bulbs - Rasputin

    It took a full year, but finally got my first bloom. It’s beautiful and has already sprouted two babies I’m attempting to nourish. I do find the colors are more muted than the description photo in listing. More peach than orange and more light than deep purple.
