Iris Species Ret. Pixie
M5601
Description
A pretty and petite Iris, ‘Pixie’ belongs to the reticulata family and stands just 15cm tall making it an excellent choice for spring containers.
The superb flowers bloom in an eye-catching shade of violet-blue, featuring a white patch and bright yellow mid-rib on their falls.
Closely related to popular ‘Harmony,’ this exquisite variety has been recognised by the RHS with an Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence and reliable qualities.
The bulbs should be planted in autumn, in a spot which receives plenty of sun and in moisture retentive, well-drained soil. Great for alpine and rock gardens.
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.
