Intermediate bearded irises bloom in between the dwarfs and the tall bearded irises. They are usually sterile, but sometimes not. They are vigorous and easy to grow.

Most of the time, irises have everything in sets of three, but sometimes the weather plays tricks on them and there can be more petals. Fun in the garden, but no points on the show bench.
