Nothing but the Iris germanica. Fresh from the garden.
This mix really gets us going. These come in a vibrant variety of colours, The flowers blossom in all directions, too.
This Iris germanica mix comes 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.
They begin blooming at the end of spring. This will continue for months. The bearded iris can be planted in flower pots or in the garden. A location in full sun is best. The plant handles dry weather well. However, they should be watered immediately after planting.
