Description

Iris Ruffled Goddess is very prolific. Its fragrant flowers are lavender with yellow beards tipped with lavender pink and the petals and sepals are delicately wavy.

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

Its broad sword-shaped leaves contrast with crumpled, multicoloured flowers with three large upright petals and three silky and trailing sepals, and a "beard" for a few weeks in May/June. This Iris has large fleshy rhizomes creeping on the ground. It likes light, warmth, and light and well-drained soils. It doesn't mind cold or summer drought, but will not tolerate moisture, especially in heavy soils. Superb in a sunny border, it is also loved in bouquets.

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

Place Iris Ruffled Goddess in a border, with yarrow, alliums, stipas or roses. It is better to plant them in groups of 3 or alone instead of creating uniform iris beds.

Planting and care

Irris Ruffled Goddess should be planted shallowly, with the rhizome at ground level. Add sand if the soil is heavy or wet, and place the rhizomes on small mounds. Ensure good drainage to prevent the iris from rotting. In summer, water 1 to 2 times a month. After flowering, cut the flower stems to 10 cm (4in) above the ground. Damaged leaves should only be removed in autumn. Do not feed with too much nitrogen as it increases the number of leaves at the expense of flowers. Taller flower stalks become brittle. The iris can be susceptible to heterosporiosis, a disease identified by oval brown spots. Every 4 years in summer after flowering, divide the clumps by pulling up the entire plant and transplanting the most beautiful young plants from the rhizome, usually those on the outer edge, to an area which has had no irises for the last year.
