Iris reticulata<\/em> ‘Gordon’<\/strong> is a dwarf bulbous perennial that blooms into pretty light blue petals, each with a tip of intense velvety purple and a blotch of bright orange in the centre, edged in white. These flowers appear above slender, grass-like, grey-green leaves that stretch up as high as the flower, disappearing by late spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add these vibrant flowers to wildflower gardens to add a splash of colour to the lower levels. Alternatively, they can be planted in pots and containers, in rockeries, under planted trees, or in a cluster for a carpet of spring colour, ideally in groups of at least 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant these ‘Gordon’ bulbs roughly 8cm\/3″ deep in the ground and 8cm\/3″ apart, in moist yet well-drained soil from September to December for flowering in late winter and early spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
