Iris reticulata (Dwarf)

Iris reticulata (Dwarf Iris) – A Jewel for Early Spring

Among the first to stir from winter’s slumber, Iris reticulata graces the garden with exquisite poise and vivid colour just as the frosts begin to loosen their grip. These compact, finely wrought blooms may be small in stature, but they more than make up for it with their intricate veining, rich violet, blue, or burgundy tones, and their sweet fragrance that hints at the promise of spring.

Perfect for rockeries, containers, and the front of sunny borders, Dwarf Irises are easy to grow and reliably perennial in well-drained soil. Planted in autumn, their graceful flowers emerge in February or March, often peeking through snow or pairing beautifully with snowdrops and crocuses.

Iris reticulata is a true gem of the early season – delicate in appearance but hardy in nature, and an uplifting sight for any gardener eager to welcome the new growing year.
