Exquisite Iris ‘Bucharica’ bears silky feathered blooms, consisting of upright ivory standards and golden-yellow falls, sometimes streaked in grey.
Part of the Juno group, this spectacular Iris Bucharica produces vigorous plants and flowers which are larger and later than most dwarf iris species, blooming in April on stems up to 35cm tall. The deep green lanceolate leaves are also broader than Iris reticulata and are produced up the stems.
Plant the bulbs in a position in full sun, into well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Perfect for pots, rockeries, alpine gardens and sunny borders - plant in groups for impact.
