Dutch Iris Discovery Purple
M5637
Description
Dutch Iris Discovery Purple boasts deep, velvety purple petals adorned with a striking golden-orange blotch on the falls. This rich and regal bloom commands attention, its intense colour creating a powerful visual impact.
Ideal for adding depth and contrast to garden beds or floral arrangements, this variety captivates with dramatic presence and luxuriant hues. Discovery Purple transforms your garden into a realm of opulent beauty.
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.
