Iris Species Danfordiae
M5592
Description
Part of the reticulata group of irises, Iris ‘Danfordiae’ is loved for its sunny disposition, bearing wide petals of bright yellow with small brown speckles.
The vivid flowers bloom during February, adding a splash of colour to spring pots, rockeries and alpine beds. The blooms produce a sweet scent which travels in the air on warmer days.
At a full height of just 10cm, Iris Danfordiae should be grown near the front of a border, in a spot where the cheery flowers will be seen and appreciated.
Plant the bulbs in autumn, in full sun and in any soil which is moist and well-drained.
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.
