Just a few plants in 8cm pots – 1 plant per pot.

This iris has slender leaves and will grow into a clump of attractive grey-green spear shaped foliage.  The flowers range from white through blue,  purple, red and brown and many colour combinations between , so it will be pot luck as to what colour flowers your plant has.  Its flowers are usually held on long stems with several flowers to a stem.  It makes an attractive garden subject and is easily maintained.  The spuria irises like full sun to partial shade and will grow in well drained soil preferring those which are rich in humus. They are attractive to bees and butterflies, and make a beautiful and opulent cut flower.
