IRIS

The name Iris comes from the Greek and means rainbow, which refers to the many colors of the flower. The Iris has long stems and because of its sword-shaped leaves, these flowers are also called sword lilies. Irises come in many different varieties. As Iris Hollandica is slightly taller than other iris varieties, it is very suitable for cut flowers. This way you can brighten up your living room with its radiant colors.

Planting irises

Plant the Irises in October, November or December, before frost. Depending on the varieties, plant your Irises in full sun or half shade, so read carefully what the packaging says. Plant Iris bulbs in dry, well-drained loosened soil with a planting depth of 2 to 3 inch. Keep a distance of 3 to 4 inch between the other flower bulbs.
