Dutch Iris Discovery

Please Note: Due to pre existing Quarantine laws we cannot send any bulbs to Western Australia and Tasmania. You may need to find bulb suppliers in your areas. Sorry we can't help you. 

Even the bare bulbs look elegant on this stunning flowers.
If you buy Dutch Iris from the florist, this is most likely your variety. 

There arent many flowers with such an intense purple blue. A taller bulb they reach around 70cm tall so best if you plant them behind other bulbs. Imagine the wonderful contrast of daffodils at the front and Blue Iris at the back. 

We have these growing along the sides of a little stream that meanders through the property and they faithfully popup again every year with very little care.
