Description
Introducing a masterclass in the application of colour… start with a blank canvas of white petals atop vivid green stems - then add a sinuous swirl of purple here, a bold dash of yellow there, and - why not? – a smattering of electric blue dots across the whole lot – and voila! The masterpiece Iris 'Eye Catcher' is created. Eye catching indeed, and an essential addition to the gallery of your garden. Planted en masse, the complex patterns work in perfect harmony, in a way that’s oh so pleasing to the eye.
It’s often the case that the fancier the flower, the more high-maintenance it is when it comes to growing conditions. No finicky demands from Le Artiste in this case, however – sturdy dwarf variety Iris 'Eye Catcher' will grow well with very little maintenance, and will naturalise strongly – ensuring a sensational exhibition year upon year.
