Collection of 3 German Iris

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.
