In shades of purple and maroon, this is a unique coloured Dutch Iris, with each petal splashed with a superb contrasting yellow.
From modern breeding, it is a hardy and easy to grow Iris, ideal in beds, borders and containers, for a late spring to early summer show. The architectural blooms are held up on strong, straight stems, making superb cut flowers for a vase indoors too.
Height: 50cm (20″). Spread: 15cm (6″).
Plant Dutch Iris bulbs in autumn, at a depth of approximately twice their own height and 10cm (4″) apart. Choose a position in full sun on any 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.
