Miniature Iris reticulata | Painted Lady Growing bulbs Flowers are pink and come

Flowers are pink and come in early to mid-summer

Also known as Love-In-A-Mist this pretty airy annual whilst fleeting will continue on as it sets copious amounts of seed that germinate in the autumn and overwinter as seedlings before flowering from spring to early summer

I love a bunch of it in a vase and whilst it does not last overly long

Miniature Iris reticulata | Painted Lady Growing bulbs Flowers are pink and comeEveryone has room for at least one Iris, but this is an absolute must have! Reticulata irises are dwarf iris, which grow only to about 15cm high but pack a big punch in the spring garden. As her name suggests, this truly does look like a work of art. Ivory white blooms with flecks and streaks of pale dusky blue and yellow markings. Gorgeous! Pot size: 1 litre, 3 bulbs per pot.
