Iris Species Ret. Alida
M5606
Description
Magical Iris reticulata are some of the first bulbs to flower in late winter and pale blue ‘Alida’ is an excellent variety for adding a welcome splash of colour to the garden.
Silky, sky-blue petals unfurl in February and March, featuring white and deeper blue flecks on their falls, with a contrasting, sunny streak of yellow.
Perfect for container displays, the bulbs can be layered with other spring blooming flowers for a long-lasting display and are ideal for rock gardens, where the large feathery flowers can be viewed up close and fully appreciated.
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.
