- Iris Yellow is a fully hardy flowering perennial loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies which produces wonderful golden yellow with darker golden yellow splashes. This yellow iris is a vigorous growers and flowers from mid Spring to mid Summer. These stunning flowers can grow up to a height of 50 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 Spring flowering bulbs in particular alliums. Iris Telstar can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. During active growth, water in prolonged dry spells so the soil stays lightly moist but never waterlogged. Once the foliage naturally dies back, reduce watering and allow the bulbs to rest more dryly.
Best Growing Conditions Plant in multi-purpose compost in sun or partial shade. Choose a position that does not stay waterlogged in winter, as good drainage helps bulbs return reliably. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.
