Iris Dwarf Collection
These Dwarf Iris will pack a big punch from late winter when their brilliant blooms create a carpet of colour! Plant them in bold groups throughout rockeries and gravel gardens, or fill containers and alpine troughs for a dazzling display. Iris reticulata and Iris danfordiae both make excellent bulbs for planting beneath deciduous trees and shrubs.
Plant Iris reticulata bulbs in late autumn, at a depth of approximately twice their own height. Choose a position in full sun in moist, free draining soil. To create a natural effect, cast the bulbs across the area and plant them where they land. Alternatively, plant bulbs in deep containers of loam based compost such as John Innes No. 2 and grow on in a greenhouse or on cool sunny windowsills for an early indoor display.
