Description
L'iris ‘Alas’ est un iris des jardins nain bicolore aux tons pastel destiné à l'ornement des rocailles ou des murets. Ses fleurs blanches, marquées d’un large spot bleu sur les sépales, sont bien visibles sur une si petite plante. Des barbes blanches pointées d’orange attirent le regard au cœur de la fleur. Cet iris miniature fleurit tôt en saison, entre mars et avril.
‘Alas’ appartient au groupe des iris barbus nains miniatures. Cette catégorie regroupe les plus petits iris barbus, ceux qui ne dépassent pas 20 cm de hauteur en fleur. Ils fleurissent avant les iris Lilliput. La plante forme une touffe très basse de feuilles vert glauque, courtes, étroites et légèrement arquées. Elle pousse à partir d’un rhizome charnu qui s'étale près de la surface du sol. La souche s’élargit lentement. Elle se plante en petit groupe. Chez cette variété 'Alas', chaque fleur se compose de trois pétales dressés blancs et de trois sépales ornés d'un grand spot bleu moyen entouré d'une bande blanche. La gorge montre une nuance vert clair, visible lorsque l’on observe la fleur de près. Les barbes sont blanches, avec des pointes orange ; un détail bienvenu sur ce coloris pastel et frais. Au jardin, la floraison a lieu en mars-avril ou en avril selon les régions.
‘Alas’'est une obtention américaine de Thomas Johnson, enregistrée en 2014 sous le numéro de semis TD203A et introduite la même année par Mid-America Garden. Elle provient du croisement d’un semis issu de ‘Devoted’ × ‘Clever’ avec ‘Easy Does It’. Ce cultivar a reçu une Honorable Mention de l’American Iris Society en 2016, puis un Award of Merit en 2021.
À proximité de cet iris nain ‘Alas’, évitez les plantes tapissantes qui risquent d'étouffer ses rhizomes. Il est préférable de l'associer à des petits bulbes précoces ou à d'autres iris nains. Choisissez par exemple l'Iris pumila ‘Azurea’, bleu clair, l'Iris pumila ‘Bright White’, blanc pur, le Crocus chrysanthus ‘Blue Pearl’, blanc et bleu tendre, et la Tulipa humilis ‘Albocaerulea Oculata’, blanche à cœur bleu nuit. Ces fleurs miniatures composent une palette blanche et bleue débordant de fraîcheur dès la fin de l'hiver.

Planting and care
The dwarf iris 'Alas' is planted from July to October, when it is in rootstock form. Plant it in full sun, in very well-drained soil, even poor and chalky or stony soil. Place the rootstock almost on the surface, with the roots spread downwards; the top must remain visible. Water generously at planting to settle the soil around the roots, then only during dry spells in the weeks following establishment. After that, watering will be unnecessary. Cut back the small faded flower stems after flowering. Divide the clump every three or four years in summer, when the centre flowers less.

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.
