Dutch Iris Montecito
M5584
Dutch Iris Montecito shines with creamy-white standards beautifully contrasted by sunny yellow falls. This elegant bloom exudes a sense of purity and warmth, bringing a touch of refined charm to any garden setting.
Its graceful form and soothing colours make it a perfect choice for creating tranquil, serene garden spaces. Whether used in borders, containers, or floral arrangements, iris Montecito delights with understated elegance and timeless beauty.
Care Guide
Cultivate Dutch Iris in a sunny area of the garden with free-draining soil.
Plant the teardrop bulbs in autumn with their pointy tips facing up, 10-15cm deep and 15cm apart in the soil. For best effect, grow in large groups.
Silky flowers in vibrant hues bloom during June and July on stems 50-95cm tall. Excellent for cutting. Leave some foliage behind to die back naturally and feed the bulb for next year’s flowers.
Bulbs will naturalise easily when left undisturbed in a warm, dry location.
