Iris Species Ret. Blue Planet
M5627
Description
Pretty feathered blooms of baby blue unfurl during February and March on exquisite Iris ‘Blue Planet.’
Ideal for a soft pop of colour in pots, window-boxes and rock gardens so early in the year - the bulbs often push their way up through a bed of snow. Plant these garden gems where you can view their exquisite markings at close range – the lower petals feature darker veining and freckles, a touch of white and a lick of bold yellow.
Iris reticulata Blue Planet can be grown as part of a colourful spring display with other bulbs in the ground or in containers, in any well-drained neutral soil.
Care Guide
Plant 8cm (3”) deep and 10cm (4”) apart in well drained soil in an open sunny position.
Best left undisturbed for as long as possible, but can be lifted and divided when necessary.
