Iris Dwarf reticulata (15 bulbs)

Iris Dwarf reticulata is the classic flower that springs to mind when thinking of Irises. This is an early flowering bulb, that blooms with deep purple-blue flowers that feature yellow and white splashes and lighter petals in the centre that are almost lilac in colour.

These bulbs are perfect for planting in the front of a sun-trapped border, as well as for growing in pots and containers to be placed on patios. Plant them en masse for a blanket of luxurious colour, or mix them among other flowers, such as Snowdrops, for a combination of beautifully contrasting colours.

Plant these reticulata bulbs roughly 8cm/3" deep in the soil and around 8cm/3" apart from each other to allow room for flowers to bloom.
