Bearded Iris collection
iris collection
Much-loved additions to the late spring and early summer garden, this combination contains a beautifully rich and blended trio of dark to white flowering iris rhizomes.
How to care for Bearded Iris collection:
Plant out as soon as possible after they arrive, shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the uppermost third of the leaves to protect against wind rock.
In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring. Remove the stems after flowering from the base as this will concentrate the plant's energy into producing new rhizomes. Divide and replant about every three years.

What's included:
In each collection you will receive 3 bare root iris plants - one of each of the following:
Iris 'Champagne Elegance': Near white standards, ruffled soft apricot falls and a delicate amber beard rising over blue-green coloured, sword-shaped leaves. Classified as a reblooming iris, you’ll get successional flowers and a sweet orange blossom fragrance too with this award winning rhizomatous perennial! Grows to 90cm.
Iris 'Maid of Orange': Glorious, glamorous and gorgeous orange blooms with peachy-apricot tones, 'Maid of Orange' has slightly ruffled petals and fans of sword-shaped, grey-green leaves. This sumptuously coloured bearded iris looks amazing planted en-masse in a sunny, well-drained border or as part of a cottage garden scheme. Grows to 50cm.
Iris 'Black Dragon': In the spring sword-like foliage grows giving structure to your planting, then these amazing flowers appear in the deepest darkest purple that you can imagine, almost black. Combine these plants with lime green, white or paler purples for a stunning effect. Grows to 90cm.
