Iris germanica Chateau dAuvers-sur-Oise - Bearded Iris
Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping), the bulb received is healthy. Planted near a Papyrus, I am now patiently waiting for it to take root... (or not?)

The Garden Iris 'Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise' is an elegant bicoloured variety, with white petals infused with very light apricot at blooming, surmounting almost horizontal sepals of coppery apricot colour, animated by pretty mandarin beards. The floral stems of this tall iris are sturdy and well-balanced, and its flowering takes place rather early in the bearded iris season. Its nuanced shades of white and apricot will complement all white, blue or mauve flowers in spring.
'Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise' is a rhizomatous and deciduous perennial plant, with an upright tufted habit. Its foliage disappears in winter. It belongs to the family of Iridaceae. It is one of the many cultivars obtained over centuries, whose controversial origin is discussed around the number of chromosomes of potential ancestors. It is worth noting that Garden Iris have European origins.
'Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise' is a variety that will reach 90cm (35in) in height when in bloom, with a sturdy stem supported by a rhizome, bearing 6 to 8 well-distributed flower buds along its height. The clump will spread very quickly, with no theoretical limit over time, as the central rhizomes become bare in favour of the outer rhizomes. The foliage consists of long sword-shaped leaves, with a glaucous green colour and strong veining. In April, floral stems appear and will give flowers in May that open from the top to the lower branches. The very soft colour of this plant is, as always with Garden Iris, enhanced by the silky texture of the petals and sepals.
Obtained by Cayeux in 2004.
To accompany irises, choose plants to associate based on their needs (exposure, soil...), their non-suffocating vegetation for their rhizomes (low plants or light foliage) and their complementarity (appearance, flowering time). For example, Gaura will cast little shade on irises and will keep the deflowered bed attractive all summer. Eschscholzia will be satisfied with a dry and poor soil, just like irises. Geraniums, salvias, and Libertia also go very well with irises. Slopes and terraced edges will be stabilized by a dense planting of vigorous old varieties that can remain in place and require little care. If the goal is more decorative and easy access for care, you can choose more modern varieties, such as intermediates, often very floriferous, which are less likely to bend under the wind or rain.

Botanical data
The 'Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise' iris should be planted shallowly, with the rhizome exposed at ground level. Add sand if the soil is too heavy or wet, and place the rhizomes on small mounds. Ensure good drainage to prevent the iris from rotting. In summer, this iris should be watered 1 to 2 times per month. At the end of flowering, they should be pruned by cutting the flower stems 10cm (4in) from the ground. Damaged leaves should only be removed in autumn. It is not recommended to provide too much nitrogen as it weakens the plant and increases the number of leaves at the expense of flowers. The taller flower stalks become brittle. The iris can be susceptible to heterosporiosis, a disease characterized by oval brown spots. To prevent it, treat the iris with Bordeaux mixture at the beginning of vegetation. Every 4 years in summer after flowering, divide the clumps by pulling up the entire plant. Transplantation should be done in a location without iris for one year. Take the most beautiful plants from the rhizome, usually those on the outer edge.
The German iris appreciates calcareous soils. In acid to very acid soil, it is preferable to add a lime-based amendment.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
