This bulb dies back after flowering each year and enters a period of rest ahead of regrowth the following season.

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile, neutral to slightly alkaline
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: January to March
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
  • Bulb size: 5/-

    Providing a bright splash of colour in late winter and early spring, often when there is little else in bloom, these low-growing iris are valuable additions to pots, windowboxes, alpine beds and rockeries. They will also look very sweet when popping up at the front of a sunny border. ‘Pauline’ has mauve-purple petals and darker burgundy-purple falls each frosted with an icing-sugar signal to guide pollinating insects to the heart of the flower.

  • Garden care: Plant bulbs 5cm deep and 5-10cm apart in the autumn, in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water moderately while they are actively growing and keep reasonably dry during their dormant period.
  • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
