• Iris bulbs are elegant, hardy perennials known for their sword-like foliage and striking blooms in a range of colours including purples, yellows, blues and whites. Flowering from late Spring into early Summer, iris blooms add height, structure, and colour to garden beds. The flowers are particularly attractive to bees and butterflies, making them a valuable addition to pollinator friendly gardens.

• Plant iris bulbs or rhizomes from late Summer into Autumn in fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny position, and plant the bulbs just below the surface, around 8-10cm deep and 10-15cm apart. After planting, water well to help them establish. Add mulch or compost to improve soil structure and drainage. Once flowering finishes, remove any faded flowers and yellowing leaves. Irises are drought-tolerant once established and require little care.

• Ideal for borders, rockeries, and containers, iris bulbs create a beautiful vertical accent. Their upright growth habit and dramatic flowers complement lower growing bedding plants and grasses. Irises thrive in full sun and suit a wide range of garden styles, from traditional cottage borders to modern minimalist beds. They also make superb cut flowers, bringing a touch of spring elegance indoors. Plant in groups or drifts for the most eye catching effect.
