I was refunded as it arrived in a cardboard packaging which completely crushed everything, even though I had requested PLASTIC packaging, which was not respected! Very disappointed!!!

Description
Iris 'Qualified' (TB)is a variety of tall garden iris that is quite spectacular because of its large apricot flowers and gentle fragrance. A bright fruity colour which is enhanced by intense orange beards. The plant forms beautiful clumps that will bloom in spring in borders and rock gardens.
Iris 'Qualified' is a rhizomatous perennial plant that has an upright habit, of the Iridaceae family. It is one of the many cultivars obtained over centuries, whose controversial origin is debated around the number of chromosomes of potential ancestors. It should be noted that Bearded Irises have European origins. 'Qualified' is a variety of fairly modest stature, reaching 80 cm (32in) high when in flower, with a sturdy flowering stem supported by a rhizome, bearing numerous flower buds. The clump will spread indefinitely over time, with the centre rhizomes becoming bare in favour of the outer ones. The deciduous foliage consists of long sword-shaped, glaucous green, highly veined leaves. Flowering stems appear in April with enormous flowers in May, earlier or later depending on the climate, 14 cm (6in) wide, blooming from the top to the lower branches. The petals are apricot to peach, slightly lighter towards the mandarin beards and tinged with pink at the base. The drooping apricot sepals are very wide, with a mandarin beard at the base. The colour is enhanced by the silky and iridescent texture of the petals and sepals. This variety has a gentle fragrance.

To complement irises, plants should be chosen based on their needs (exposure, soil...), growth (low-growing plants or light foliage), appearance and flowering time. For example, Gauras will provide little shade to the irises and keep the bed attractive throughout the summer. California Poppies (Eschscholzia) will be content with dry and poor soil, just like irises. Perennial geraniums, salvias, and Libertia also complement irises very well. Slopes can be stabilised by dense planting of vigorous old varieties that require little care. The vegetable garden can accommodate a few clumps of irises for cut flowers.

Planting and care
Do you have a very sunny location, rather dry in summer?
This is the ideal location for irises! In the shade, they grow but do not flower. They are hardy and do not need winter protection. Well-drained soil is perfect even dry and chalky, or rocky. Excessively moist soil promotes rhizome rot. Plant from July to September to allow the rhizomes enough time to grow and develop new roots before winter. They should be planted as soon as they are purchased, for better results. Plan to divide the irises every 4 years or so to give them fresh soil. They are vigorous and need space to develop and flower well. Plant with a spacing appropriate to the size and vigour of the variety: about 34-50 cm (13-20in) for tall ones. Always consider the direction of growth of the rhizomes by arranging them in a star shape, with buds and leaves facing outward, and spacing them well away from other varieties so they have room to grow.
Planting
Dig a hole that is wide and deep enough. Create a conical mound of soil on which to place the rhizome and spreading roots. Cover the roots. It is important that the rhizome is level with the surface of the soil. It should not be planted in a dip (risk of rot), so take into account that the soil will settle and the iris will sink. In clay or moist soil, the rhizome should even be elevated on a slight mound. To make the soil cling to the roots, lightly firm and thoroughly water immediately after planting. Water 2-3 times if necessary until the plant is established.
Maintenance:
Keep the soil weed-free by shallow hoeing, taking care not to damage the rhizomes or roots. Weeds shade the irises, retain moisture (causing rot), and attract slugs. Also, remove dry leaves. If they are diseased (reddish-bordered spots of heterosporiosis), we recommend burning them. Remove faded flowers.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
