This Iris germanica is pure magic. Fresh from the garden.
This Iris germanica mix makes us very happy. There are five irises, all of which smell fantastic. The Iris germanica, also known as the bearded iris, has flowers that blossom in all directions. They come in all sorts of colours, too.
This Iris germanica mix comes as bare-root stock in a bio-based pouch. 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.
They begin blooming at the end of spring. This will continue for months. Bearded irises should be planted in full sun. The plant handles dry weather well. However, they should be watered immediately after planting. You can plant them separately around the garden. Flower pots on the balcony work well too.

- 1 orange/pink Iris "Battle Star"
