Notes: Regina’ is a new discovery from Brazil that has the iris world talking! This exciting new bearded iris has lovely, deep-blue flowers. It’s a repeat bloomer, continuing to flower from spring through early fall. ‘Regina’ stands 3 feet tall, and prefers dappled or broken light. ‘Regina’ should be in every iris lover’s garden! Outstanding as a lone specimenor mass plantings, or in containers.
I would like to know if this plant takes a year to bloom again. I had a plant that was blooming all summer, then when the season came again it has remained small but hardy and has not bloomed. I live in florida, and we did have an especially cold winter for us. Have we done something wrong? thanks for your help.
