Bearded Iris.....HABIT.....mauve and purple
Now is the time to plant bare rooted Bearded Iris rhizomes. They will do well over the Summer ready for the flowering season next year.
Name: HABIT
Large Violet lavender and black/purple blooms. Bright orange contrasting beard. Its hard to miss these spectacular blooms when they come out in flower in November each year.
Bearded iris are hardy garden perennials that clump up a little more each year. They do enjoy sunbathing with their rhizomes on top of the soil . A good frost keeps the rhizome hardened and strong.
You will be buying a fresh dug rhizome, trimmed and labelled ready for planting. Instructions available but they really are very easy to grow.
Pickup is in Kuripuni
