The lodge where I stayed just outside of Zion National Park, Utah called the Cliffrose Lodge and Gardens had many small gardens filled with irises. Here is one I believe the hybrid name for is Brightline.
Bearded Iris are one of the true staples of the perennial garden. They are loved by many gardeners because they are easy to grow, deer-resistant, they multiply each year, and many are re-bloomers, putting on a colorful show in the garden twice in one season. There are two planting seasons for these garden favorites.
Bearded Iris prefer at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. In hot climates, they will tolerate 4-6 hours of sun. They should have some shade during the day in hotter climates. Bearded Iris prefer to be planted in well-drained soil. To improve drainage, they can be planted on a slope or in a raised bed.
