Description

High drama is the name of the game with Iris 'Spot On'—just look at those flamboyant flowers! It’s all going on here, from their shapely violet-purple standards to their striped and spotted white falls, all the way down to their deep, dark velvety tips. What’s more, each bloom is finished off with a lavish flash of gold - making for a heady concoction indeed!

Favouring well-drained soil and a sunny position, Iris reticulata 'Spot On' flowers exceptionally early in spring, making it a bona fide must-have for all those in pursuit of the longest-possible flowering season. Lounging atop slender, grass-like foliage, these diminutive but ever-so opulent dwarf iris blooms will wave an elegant goodbye to dark winter days, bringing in the new season with maximum pizazz.
