A lovely & rare ice-blue, nearly white, selection, with an attractive orange mark on the falls. Flowers February-March. Height 10-25cm. Bulb size 5cm+. (Bulb sizes"ed in centimetres refer to the circumference of bulbs. All bulbs are sourced from cultivated stocks.) The most familiar of the dwarf, bulbous irises, whose brightly-coloured, deliciously fragrant flowers, set amidst curious pointed leaves, appear in late winter & early spring. They are very hardy & easy to grow, & are ideal for a sunny border or container. Irises are a vast genus of plants, ranging from diminutive rockery varieties, to imposing border specimens. Some are grown from bulbs, others from thickened underground stems known as rhizomes. Nearly all, however, share the same beautiful & easily recognisable flower form
- 3 erect inner 'standard' petals & 3 hanging outer 'fall' petals.
