Iris Species J.S. Dijt

Petite Iris ‘J.S. Dijt’ is perfect for adding a classy touch of rich, velvety colour to the garden in early spring.

Grassy foliage appears in winter, from which the bewitching blooms appear in February and March. Petals of deep, opulent purple are splashed with a white blotch on their falls and a striking golden streak.

Fill pots and window boxes with the bulbs in autumn and top with moss or gravel for a treat in spring when the flowers unfurl. Can be planted as part of a mixed display or bulb lasagne, forming the uppermost layer of bulbs, usually first to emerge.

Also excellent for rock and alpine gardens – plant in groups for an impactful, stylish show of colour.
