| Iris tuberosa |
Another winter flowering iris in the reticulata family
Plant them deeply 8cm or so, in pots or in
the garden in autumn. They will need
time to establish before blooming begins so you need to be patient. They grow best in
warm sun to partial shade in a sheltered spot. Wind protection is needed as although the spikes are only
about 25cm tall they are fragile and bend easily.
The mature tubers look like dried little fingers. The foliage is grass like and the flower spikes appear later and are usually shorter.
They are an ideal rockery plant given wind protection and, given time to establish, will increase in number.
