• Iris King Mauve is a fully hardy flowering perennial loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies which produces lilac mauve petals with striking yellow blotches in the centre. King Mauve iris are vigorous growers, flowering from June to July. These stunning flowers can grow up to a height of 60 cm and will provide colour every year in UK gardens.

• Plant these iris bulbs during Spring and Summer in fertile, well draining soil in full sun or in partial shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.

• These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots and containers. Iris bulbs look best when planted in groups of single colours. They are an excellent accompaniment to other flowering bulbs in particular alliums. Iris King Mauve can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.
