Product Description
Iris ensata ‘Dinner Plate Lady in Waiting’ is a standout Japanese Water Iris that brings luminous beauty to the garden. Celebrated for its impressive, oversized “dinner plate” blooms, this variety unfurls layers of broad, softly ruffled petals in ethereal shades of white, cream, and the palest lavender. Subtle veining and a gentle glow of yellow at the centre add depth and poise, giving each flower a serene, almost regal presence.

Growing at a glance…
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 encourage large bulbs to form. Plant out as soon as possible. Plant in well dug prepared soil. Protect from excessive winter wet.
