Description

In Greek mythology, Iris is the goddess of the rainbow – the Iris flower is thus named due to the wide range of colours available. Our heavenly Dutch Iris ‘Rainbow Mix’ combines an array of these shades for a kaleidoscopic effect.

This assortment of superior varieties blends burnished bronze, soft lilac, intense indigo, deep burgundy, sunny yellow and pure white. The Orchid-shaped blooms feature silken petals, dancing amongst wiry foliage like fluttering butterflies. Dutch Iris perfectly fill the ‘May gap’ when there can otherwise be a hiatus of colour. Admired by florists and garden designers alike, this mix provides a ready-made bouquet of outstanding, long-lasting blooms.

Care Guide

Cultivate Dutch Iris in a sunny area of the garden with free-draining soil.

Plant the teardrop bulbs in autumn with their pointy tips facing up, 10-15cm deep and 15cm apart in the soil. For best effect, grow in large groups.

Silky flowers in vibrant hues bloom during June and July on stems 50-95cm tall. Excellent for cutting. Leave some foliage behind to die back naturally and feed the bulb for next year’s flowers.

Bulbs will naturalise easily when left undisturbed in a warm, dry location.
