Fairy Iris

Description:
Hardy, evergreen perennial with long, sword-shaped green leaves that grow in fan-like clumps. It produces striking white iris-like flowers with yellow and violet markings from spring through autumn. Each flower lasts only a few days, but the plant blooms repeatedly, giving a long-lasting display. It’s ideal for mass planting, borders, or low-maintenance gardens, and is tolerant of a wide range of conditions once established.

80–100 cm
Width:

60–90 cm

Position:

Full sun to part shade. Prefers a warm, sheltered spot but tolerates wind and light frost

Soil:

Moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates poor soils but performs best in fertile, humus-rich soil

Uses:

Care tips:
