Iris
'Frozen Planet'
dwarf iris
Iris 'Frozen Planet' brings a breath of crisp elegance to the early spring garden, with its pure white petals softly blushed in icy blue at the lip. This variety is like a late winter snowflake caught mid-bloom—delicate, serene, and perfectly poised. Compact and low-growing, Iris reticulata 'Frozen Planet' is ideal for rockeries, pots, or lining paths where its frosty hues can shine against darker soil or emerging greenery. Despite its cool tones, it creates a warm welcome to the new season, adding a touch of refinement to any early display.
Happily, Iris 'Frozen Planet' is as easy to grow as it is lovely. It prefers well-drained soil and a sunny position, and once planted, it quietly returns each year without complaint. Whether nestled among crocuses or standing alone in neat clumps, this reticulata iris offers dependable performance and just enough flair to stand out from the crowd. For gardeners looking to bring a calm, sophisticated edge to their spring bulb mix, Iris reticulata 'Frozen Planet' is a natural choice—and one that’s sure to earn admiration with every bloom.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
