Description

Everyone knows Iris germanica, which has become world famous thanks to the paintings of Van Gogh and Monet. It owes its popularity to its unique design.

Its wide sword-shaped stiff leaves contrast with crumpled, multicoloured flowers perched high up. The flowers have the particularity of forming three large upright petals and three silky, trailing sepals, called "beard". The flowering lasts a few weeks in May/June. This Iris has large fleshy rhizomes creeping on the ground. It likes light, warmth, and light, well-drained soil. It is not afraid of cold or summer drought, its enemy is moisture, especially in heavy soils. Superb in a sunny border, it is also highly appreciated for bouquets.

We offer you a collection of 4 Rosé Iris Germanica.

- 1 'Sorbet Fraise' Iris

- 1 'Cameo Wine' Iris

- 1 'Dame de Coeur' Iris

- 1 'Anything Goes' Iris

Very resistant, they should be exposed to full sun, in rather dry and well-drained soil.

Place the Iris, in a border or mass planting, in the company of yarrows, Alliums, Stipas, or roses. It is preferable to scatter them in groups of 3 or alone instead of creating homogeneous iris beds.

Planting and care

Iris should be planted shallowly, with the rhizome exposed at ground level. Add sand when the soil is too heavy or too wet, and place the rhizomes on small mounds. Ensure good drainage to prevent the iris from rotting. During summer, this iris should be watered 1 to 2 times per month. At the end of flowering, they should be pruned by cutting the flower stems to 10cm (4in) from the ground. Damaged leaves should only be removed in autumn. It is not recommended to apply too much nitrogen as it weakens the plant and increases the number of leaves at the expense of flowers. Taller flower stalks become brittle. The iris can be susceptible to heterosporiosis, a disease identified by oval brown spots. To prevent it, treat the iris with Bordeaux mixture at the beginning of the growing season. Every 4 years in summer after flowering, divide the clumps by pulling up the entire plant. Transplantation should be done in a location without irises for one year. Take the most beautiful young plants from the rhizome, usually those on the outer edge.
