Iris ‘Cantab’ (15 bulbs)

Iris ‘Cantab’ is a gorgeous dwarf Iris that will produce stunning, soft, pale-blue flowers that feature a tip of darker purple as well as a streak of white and yellow through the centre of each petal.

Blooming in late winter and early spring, these fragrant ‘Cantab’ bulbs are perfect for planting at the front of an early border, as well as for growing in pots and containers to be placed on patios, terraces and balconies. They are particularly spectacular when planted in groups of at least 20 bulbs.

Plant these bulbs approximately 8cm/3″ deep in the soil and around 8cm/3″ apart from each other to allow room for the flowers to bloom. They prefer soil that is alkaline or neutral and a position of full sun or partial shade.
