Description

Everyone knows the Iris germanica, which has become world famous thanks to the paintings of Van Gogh and Monet. It owes its popularity to its unique design.

Its wide sword-shaped leaves contrast with crumpled, multicoloured flowers perched high. The flowers have the particularity of forming three large upright petals and three silky, trailing sepals, called "beards". The flowering lasts a few weeks in May/June. This Iris has large fleshy rhizomes creeping on the ground. It likes light, heat, and light, well-drained soils. It is not afraid of cold or summer dryness, its enemy is moisture, especially in heavy soils. Beautiful in a sunny border, it is also highly appreciated for making bouquets.

We offer you a collection of 3 German Iris in white and violet contrast:

- 1 'Laced Cotton' Iris in white.

- 1 'Art Deco' Iris in a dark violet colour marked with white and with a yellow beard.

- 1 'Midnight Revelry' Iris in violet.

Very resistant, it should be exposed to full sun, in rather dry and well-drained soil.

Place Iris in a border or drift, in the company of yarrows, Alliums, Stipas or roses. It is preferable to scatter them in groups of 3 or alone instead of creating homogeneous iris beds.

Planting and care

Iris should be planted shallowly, with the rhizome exposed at ground level. Add sand when the soil is too heavy or too wet, and place the rhizomes on small mounds. Ensure good drainage to prevent the iris from rotting. During summer, this iris should be watered 1 to 2 times a month. At the end of flowering, they should be pruned by cutting the flower stems to 10cm (4in) above the ground. Damaged leaves should only be removed in autumn. It is not recommended to provide too much nitrogen as it weakens the plant and increases the number of leaves at the expense of flowers. The taller flower stalks become brittle. The iris can be susceptible to heterosporiosis, a disease characterized by oval brown spots. To prevent this, treat the iris with Bordeaux mixture at the beginning of the growing season. Every 4 years in summer after flowering, divide the clumps by pulling up the entire plant. Transplantation should be done in a location without irises for one year. Take the most beautiful young plants from the rhizome, usually those on the outer edge.
