Iris Metolius Blues
Iris ‘Metolius Blues’ blend effortlessly into cottage garden borders, adding height and structure from June to July. Its foliage forms neat and compact fan shape flowers, bringing a vertical accent to planting schemes. The majestic blooms are also perfect for adding drama to summer bouquets, making this a useful choice for the cut flower garden. Height: 100cm (39″). Spread: 30cm (12″).
A sunny position in well drained soil is ideal for growing iris. Bearded iris rhizomes prefer an open position where the rhizomes can bake in the summer sun, without being shaded by other plants. These perennials require a very free draining soil, so amend heavy clay soils with plenty of grit and well rotted manure prior to planting. When planting iris, ensure that the rhizome sits just at the soil surface as they are prone to rot if planted too deeply.
