Thank you to the individuals (Clothilde for order preparation and Cerise from the shipping department), the 3 young plants received appear to be healthy. Placed in the field of plants near yellow roses, I am now patiently waiting for them to establish themselves... (or not?).

Description
Iris 'Brassie' is a dwarf garden iris with bright yellow flowers that will bring cheerfulness to rockeries and borders. Not very tall, it withstands the wind well. The plant quickly forms pretty, well-flowered clumps in April.
Iris Brassie is a small rhizomatous perennial plant from the iridaceae family. It is part of a horticultural group called SDB (Standard Dwarf Bearded). In this group, hybrids can be found between the pumila iris, which is truly dwarf, and the Grand Garden Iris. These small irises flower before the tall irises, but after the true dwarf irises.
From spring onwards, the Brassie Iris forms small upright clumps of deciduous foliage. The plant will reach a height of 35 cm (14in) when in flower and the clump will spread without a theoretical limit over time, with the central rhizomes becoming bare in favour of the outer rhizomes. The foliage consists of long sword-shaped, glaucous green leaves. Short flower stalks appear in March and bloom in April, earlier or later depending on the climate. The flower stalks generally bear a solitary flower at their tips. The flower is 7 to 8 cm (3in) in diameter and composed of three upright petals of chrome yellow surmounting 3 almost trailing sepals of the same yellow, but washed with green. The beards are golden yellow.
Obtained by Warburton, 1958 - Awards: Honorable mention in 1958; Cook-Douglas Prize in 1962; Cook-Douglas Medal in 1969.
To accompany the irises, plants should be chosen based on their needs (exposure, soil...), vegetation (low plants or light foliage), decorative appearance and flowering date. For example, Gaura will provide little shade and keep the faded iris bed attractive throughout the summer. Eschscholzia will be happy with dry and poor soil, just like the iris. Geraniums, salvias, and Libertia also accompany irises very well. Slopes and terraced edges can be stabilised by dense planting of old diploid varieties that require little care.
Rockeries, stony and dry meadows, limestone plateaus, rocky slopes, green roofs: use the full range of irises. Border edges are the domain of border irises, but also of dwarf irises!

Planting and care
Do you have a sunny, warm location, rather dry in summer?
This is the ideal location for dwarf irises! In the shade, they grow but do not flower. They are hardy and do not need winter protection. Well-drained soil is perfect, even dry and chalky. Soil that is too wet promotes rhizome rot. Plant from July to September. This gives the rootstocks enough time to grow and develop new roots before winter. They should be planted as soon as they are purchased for best results. Plan to divide the irises every approximately 4 years to give them fresh soil. They have strong growth and require space to develop and flower well. Plant with spacing adapted to the size and vigour of the variety: approximately 34-50 cm (13-20in) for tall ones. In a monochrome plantation, the rhizomes are planted in a staggered pattern. To create a mix of colours, plant them in groups of several plants of the same variety. Always consider the direction of growth of the rootstocks by arranging them in a star shape, with buds and leaves turned outward, and spacing them well away from other varieties so that they have room to develop.
Planting
Dig a hole that is wide and deep enough. Make a conical mound of soil in the hole, on which the rhizome and spread-out roots are placed. Cover the roots. It is important for the rhizome to be left just above the surface of the soil. It should not be planted in a dip (risk of rot), so anticipate that the soil will settle and the iris will sink. In clayey or damp soil, the rhizome can even be left raised on a slight mound. To make the soil stick to the roots, lightly firm and water abundantly after planting. Water 2-3 times if necessary until the rhizome takes root.
Maintenance:
Keep the soil free of weeds by shallow hoeing, taking care not to damage the rhizome or roots. Weeds cast shade on the irises, retain moisture (causing rot), and attract slugs. Likewise, remove dry leaves. If they are diseased (red-bordered spots from heterosporiosis), burn them. Remove faded flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
