Description
Illuminate your late-spring garden with a rainbow of glamorous Dutch Irises, the ideal hardy plant for growing in borders, containers and for use as cut flowers! The alluring Dutch Iris 'Mixed Colours' flowers with amazingly elaborate blooms in a stunning blend of two-tone, single coloured and trendy copper-hued varieties, so you'll be able to create easy and colourful groups all around the garden.
Dutch Irises are also strong naturalisers, meaning that from late spring through to early summer each year you'll get the pleasure of a beautifully varied display from this colourful mix. Plus, establishing into larger clumps each spring, you'll not have good strong chunks of colour in the garden, but plenty of excellent-quality long-stemmed cutting material for use in indoor arrangements too!
