Description

Everyone knows Iris germanica, which has become world-famous thanks to the paintings of Van Gogh and Monet. 

Its wide sword-shaped leaves contrast with crumpled, multicoloured flowers. The flowers have three large upright petals and three silky, trailing sepals, with  "beards" for a few weeks in May/June. This Iris has large fleshy rhizomes creeping on the ground. It likes light, warmth, and light, well-drained soils and tolerates cold and summer drought, it doesn't like wet, heavy soils. Superb in a sunny bed, it is also great for bouquets.

Iris Orange Embers is 85cm (34in) high. It has orange petals with reddish-orange beards.

It is robust and needs full sun, in dry and well-drained soil.

Place Iris Orange Embers in a bed or border, with yarrows, alliums, stipas, or roses. It is better to scatter them in groups of 3 or alone instead of creating uniform iris beds.

Planting and care

iris Orange Embers should be planted shallowly, with the rhizome just above the soil. Add sand to heavy or wet soil and place the rhizomes on small mounds. Ensure good drainage to prevent rotting. During summer, this iris should be watered 1 to 2 times a month. After flowering cut the flower stalks to 10 cm (4in) above the ground. Damaged leaves should only be removed in autumn. Do not add too much nitrogen as increases the number of leaves at the expense of flowers. Taller flower stalks become brittle. Iris can be susceptible to heterosporiosis, a disease identified by oval brown spots. Every 4 years after flowering in summer, divide the clumps by uprooting the entire plant and transplanting the most beautiful young plants from the rhizome, usually those on the outer edge, to an area that has not had irises for a year.
