Arils are native to the Middle East. Arilbreds are hybrids between Tall Bearded or other bearded iris and Arils. While pure Arils do better in dryer climates like the Southwest, Arilbreds will grow fairly easily in most places that you can grow Tall Bearded iris. Arils and Arilbreds go dormant and die back during the summer and start to grow again in late summer early fall. Typically, there are very few, if any leaves during the shipping season. We grow these along with our TBs, the only difference in conditions is we add some sand to the soil to loosen it and help with drainage.  Bloom season is late SDB through IB.
