An exceedingly early flowering spring bulb that will display enchanting pale blue flowers. The falls have a light orange tongue with white and darker blue markings in the style often associated with this variety. Iris Reticulata are perfect for containers and the front of a border. As they originate from Turkey it is no surprise that they thrive particularly well in sunny locations with well drained soil, making them a popular choice option for rockeries. Height 15cm. Flowers February-March. 5/6cm bulbs supplied.

Soil Type
Well drained, neutral or slightly alkaline soil |
Bulbs are to be planted 8cm deep and about 10-12cm apart, in well drained soil. It is often best to try to position then with plenty of access to sun. For best results, plant in September through to November.
Take some care to prevent slugs and snails from attacking the iris once planted. Most Iris can naturalise well if left undisturbed or alternatively bulbs can be lifted and separated in Autumn. After flowering feed with a high potash fertiliser to en courage large bulbs to form.
