A superb mix of Iris reticulata varieties, with colours ranging from the softest blue through to the richest deep purples. All feature distinctive and attractive markings on their falls such as a sweep of vibrant yellow, blue flecks and finely painted veining.

The bulbs should be planted in autumn, into any well-drained soil in full sun. Ideal for colourful container displays, the flowers bloom during February and March at a height of 15cm.

Place pots where you can view the delicate flowers and their exquisite markings and colours up close – a garden tabletop, window box or near a doorway you pass through often are perfect spots.
