With a height of 15 to 20 centimeters and wide-open purple flowers, she has a beautiful appearance. The flowers have a yellow stripe in the center surrounded by white streaks.

The flower bulb is winter hardy and very suitable for naturalization, it comes back faithfully every year.

How, where and when do I plant a dwarf iris bulb?

The flowerbulbs of this Iris need a cold period. Plant them in the ground in the fall from September to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the height of the flowerbulb itself and the planting distance is 2 to 3 times the width of the flowerbulb itself.

Plant it in a sunny to semi-shaded position in a nutrient-rich, water-drained, preferably sandy soil. It is even suitable for rock gardens! Also suitable for places under deciduous trees or shrubs. We recommend planting it among crocuses in a lawn, for example, they bloom at the same time and it will steal the show among the crocuses with its wide flowers and striking colors.
