I found this Iris to grow rapidly and was not fussy about where it was planted. My only issue with this iris was that the flowers were MASSIVE! I'm not a fan of overly large iris flowers, and 'Immortality' was the largest flowered iris of any iris in my garden. I tend to favor the Historic Iris varieties which are a little more 'graceful' in appearance.

I have had the stunning and shimmering white Immortality in my garden for years. Once the clumps are established, generally after a year or two, they re-bloom with absolute consistency for me in late September/early October, sending up new stalks until freezing weather. The only other iris I have that is as reliable a re-bloomer as Immortality is 'Baby Blessed', a yellow dwarf iris that was also given to me years ago. Highly recommended.

I love these large fragrant flowers that bloom twice for me every year. I did have 2 small groups that did not bloom this year, but I think that might be from my taking babies from them too much. Not sure. Otherwise, tons of flowers twice a year.

I love love Immortality Iris, I bought it in Ebay, I know some sellers may have mislabelled the plant they sell but I really dont mind as I am bound to forget all these names just like all the plants I bought. "From our yard and too over grown. I am selling what I have cleared. We are not experts cutting these roots but my kids wants extra money, they will box it and send you extras. I researched this and believe its **Immortality**. You wont be dissappointed if you like iris all the time. Buy more and save on large flat rate box shipping"...that was his winning ad. I almost wished I didnt bid beacause I **do not like white flowers**, but I did because we needed a contrast to this yellow iris we have the blooms from spring until some heavy snows snaps the flower stems. When my husband op... read moreened the box, he said I just bought a lot of irises to get tired of. OMG, it was more than what we wanted to work on for that afternoon. The plants were so so fresh they seemed freshly dugged, dirt shooked, boxed and shipped. It is now 10/23/2012 I have blooms and flower stems on almost each root the ebayer sold me.What made me sign in to this site- is to let you know what the ebayer didnt mention, this is fragrant !!! I placed this beautiful glowing white iris in our foyer buffet, it filled the entrance with this delicate scent. Another plus that was not mentioned was the color is not flat white, its has a very light hint of lavender and stripes that make the flower seem to glow in our foyer, then the yellow beard!!! So pretty!!!! Thanks to the comments I read on this site, I found another iris of a different color that is truly delightful. Can anyone recommend a fragrant and reblooming TB iris that is not white or yellow as I have both already?

Probably my favorite iris. It has rebloomed for me on even small new divisions. It is beautiful with roses and has a wonderful scent. If you are scared to pay the money for RB iris, this is the one to try. I have several pictures of it blooming on my blog.

Immortality has bloomed once in the 3 years I've had it. The blooms were gorgeous, large and numerous.

The fans are strong and large, just no blooms lately. It's not quite large enough to split yet, but should by next year.

Planted last spring, '08, and is blooming now, March 09. Surprised because it only gets 5 hours of sun!

Planted fall 2004. Rebloomed in 2006 and 2007 - in zone 4a. Amazing.

Fantasic grower with great increase. Mine's in a lot of shade and still sends up multiple scapes and reblooms. Earlier and shorter than the majority of Talls - first bloom is right after the border beardeds. Flower is not impressive in size or form - a grey/green white, but would do well in landscape situations in large clumps. Haven't gotten mine to set a pod and no success as a pollen parent yet either -hmm.

Grows quickly, have to divide every other year (but then I get to share the wealth with friends). Because of this I've only had it rebloom once for me in the past 5 years. Blooms early to mid-May in Nebraska (zone 5), before my other tall bearded iris.

I got a small tuber last fall, have a small plant this year but the bloom is huge! I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom again in the fall. Next year the plant will be larger.
