All irises, all fresh from the garden.
It looks just like a white wig. The top of this Iris germanica (bearded iris) "Burgmeister", that is. We love the contrast with the purple flowers at the bottom. They have a wonderful scent, too. You will receive the Iris germanica "Burgmeister" as bare-root stock in sugar cane sacking. This is more environmentally friendly than plastic nursery pots. The roots are shipped fresh from the ground. They are already one year old. This gives them additional strength, enabling them to grow faster than they would in a nursery pot. Plants grown from bare-root stock also adapt to their new environment more easily. They flower better and they are more economical. Bare-root stock plants grow when it becomes warmer. These are winter-hardy perennials, so they return every year. The Iris germanica is best planted in the autumn. The "Burgmeister" begins blooming at the end of spring. This will continue for months. The Iris germanica will flourish in pots or planted separately around the garden, in full sun. The flowers handle dry weather well. However, the roots should be watered immediately after planting.
